The host prepared cannoli and two bottles of water upon our check-in, which we really appreciated after the long flight. The apartment is at a great location, only a block away from the waterfront/marina with a big grass field, a playground, and seating areas. The neighboorhood is quiet, family-friendly and safe to walk around. There is a supermarket nearby which was helpful to get daily essentials. It was also easy to walk to restaurants and the sites we wanted to see.
This unit is spacious with plenty of room for two adults and a child to move around or lounge inside. The sofabed in the living room sleeps two so it could be good for a larger family. The place is kept clean (cleaning staff came mid-week). Aurora was very good at responding to our questions. We did experience some minor "hiccups" during our one week stay. For example, the wifi wasn't working very well and we kept on getting the message that we've reached the limit, even though we didn't do anything beyond usual web browsing and Facebooking (we weren't downloading videos or anything). We didn't experience this issue when staying at another airbnb in another city in Italy. The toilet water tank takes a little time to fill up, so we need to make sure the three of us don't use the toilet back to back. There were also minor issues with the refrigerator beeping and the lights went out. The host Aurora responded to all of our calls and text right away and sent people over to fix the problem. So we do appreciate that she is trying her best to make sure that we had a comfortable stay.
