Fantastic location in the middle of the old town and very close to the sea/beach. Please note there is no wifi and no cell service in the apartment. It made it very frustrating to locate places to eat and shop before leaving the apartment. And when staying alone, it made it lonely without being able to be in contact with anyone or use my computer.
The apartment was very small. There was not really any area to just relax in as the common room has just a chair and dining table. It would be better and more useful to have a sofa, I think. The apartment could use some updating and redecorating, but overall was functional.
Also, note that there is no soap other than dish soap. I recommended the host to get hand soap for the bathroom, more toilet paper, and trash bins in each room (as there were none in the apartment). It would also be nice if there was coffee as well.
I was very impressed with Chiara and how quick she was to respond. She was very helpful to me and even arranged a taxi to and from the train station for me. She was always kind and helpful. She was not able to meet me upon arrival but had her friend meet me who was very kind. There was a large bottle of water, juice, iced tea, and pastries for me upon arrival.
The location is prime and is located just off the main shopping street in the old town where there are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. I chose to eat at the restaurants along the sea for the view. The apartment is only around 150 meters from the beach and 50 meters to the sea.
