I was able to add the owner on a message service and communication was easier via this app service.
Check-in was easy, someone was waiting for us upon arrival to open the apartment and give us a tour and the keys. Inside the unit there was a functioning air-conditioner, kitchen and fridge, small espresso pot, and kitchenware for cooking. There was one bedroom with a queen sized bed and a pull-out couch. The pull-out couch is very outdated and I slept on a slant for three weeks but it did its purpose. Clean linens and towels were provided. There was no personal laundry available as stated in the add, the washer outside belongs to the neighbour alongside half of the courtyard that's advertised in this listing. We contacted the owner whenever we wanted laundry done (expect a day or two to pick-up and 2-4 days to return). I didn't mind having laundry done for us but our whites were turned pink so I had to buy a large wash basin and wash and hang our white and good clothes.
We were able to easily load/unload our fiat at the apartment but there was no parking on the street the apartment was on. Be mindful not to park or go down the beach road after 8pm or you will receive a ticket. The owner offered a parking pass but I wasn't comfortable sharing my personal rental agreement over a private message service so I opted to park off one of the main roads north of the apartment (about a 5-10 minute walk).
We always had water for showering, just make sure the bathroom switch is kept on so the hot water tank stays on. It would have been nice to have access to an outside water hose because the sand from the beach really plugged the bathroom drain.
We had to keep the lights on because we encountered large cockroches on multiple occasions in the apartment. This was my first time experiencing them inside a house in Italy, I stayed for 2 months in another rental last year and they were commonly seen in the laundry terrace but never inside the house. They are huge!
Overall, location was great, the apartment was very close the beach, night life, cafes, and restaurants. The neighbour's were friendly and quiet and it was a safe neighborhood to be out late in. We actually found out the neighbour the courtyard was shared with is a first cousin to our relative so it made our "surprise" shared courtyard experience more enjoyable.
Checkout was easy.
