All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would consider the property for future visits. The property is very clean, has all the amenities required plus more. The proximity to the center of town and the gondola to the beach area is great! The hosts, while we didn't end up meeting in person (they were at an appointment and had someone meet us who was very nice) were very responsive and flexible with regards to our check in and out times (no immediate guests on either side so it was free).
So that things are clear (and echoing some of the other reviews) I think a few items deserve specific mention as considerations/possible negatives:
- Two of the bedrooms are next to the very busy road and are quite loud in the evening and morning hours. Traffic dies down after 11pm and before 6am or so but otherwise it can be difficult to sleep with the noise.
- One of the bedrooms is a bit odd since it seems to have been the former living area (there is no internal living space besides the kitchen/dining room - otherwise it's the outside terrace seating) which means everyone has to walk through it to get to the kitchen unless they walk outside onto the terrace and around to the balcony door of the kitchen.
- Another of the bedrooms is significantly smaller than the rest and the bathroom is also really small and you have to side-step the bidet to reach the toilet. But, it's very functional and just as nice and clean as the others.
- Exiting the terrace gate (it used to be a parking space I believe) to the main road could be a bit scary for some since there isn't really a sidewalk. However, after getting used to looking for cars/mopeds coming, we didn't find it to be a big issue.
- Depending on the season (which we were in the middle of) there can be a lot of mosquitoes at night when sitting on the terrace. Someone (not sure if it was the hosts or prior guests) had left some citronella candles which helped but we still got bitten quite a bit.
Again - overall we were very pleased with our stay and would consider it again. But, I would have liked to understand some of these points even better beforehand and prepared the group. Thanks again to the hosts for a lovely stay!!
