We spent ten days in Simone’s apartment. It’s located in a perfect spot, everything you need is in walking distance of maximum 10 minutes - grocery stores, restaurants, beach etc. Neighbors were really nice and helpful. Check in wasn’t a problem at all. Great communication with Simone and his sister. We arrived late, past the check in hours and it didn’t seem to be a problem. The agent Adele who was showing us around the house didn’t speak English but we did manage to understand each other more or less. It was a pleasant surprise to get the sheets changed halfway through our stay for fresh ones without even asking. But it has to be stated that there were some minor issues. The Wi-Fi barely works and you have to stand in certain areas to catch the signal. The apartment isn’t really suited for a longer stay: no trash bags, one roll of toilet paper, moldy olive oil and no sharp knives if you want to prepare a meal. Overall tidiness is far from perfect: I’m pretty sure there’s fungus on some walls in the living room and under the shower, dishes were dirty when we arrived and one day we noticed small ants in various places of the house. My advice is to bring some earplugs, because some nights were pretty noisy.
Nevertheless our stay in Simone’s apartment was pleasant and I’m sure most of the unpleasant things I described can be easily overcome with little effort.
