We had a great time at Marisa's apartment, but with some mixed feelings.
The apartment is in a fabulous location. You couldn't ask for a better one - best ice cream in town is a few steps away, same goes for restaurants. Parks, parking, great sights - all within walking distance.
The apartment itself is very elegant. It has a slightly hotel-y feel (no personal belongings anywhete etc) which for some might be a drawback, but we liked this style a lot.
The place is fully air conditioned, too, which saved our lives in 35 degrees plus weather.
What we would like to see more of, however, is home appliances.
There were no umbrellas, beach towels, no extra regular towels or sheets, which made it a bit harder for us to function. We ended up buying umbrellas and leaving them at the apartment, so hopefully the future tenants wont have this problem :)
One negative thing, however, was the communication. We couldnt contact the owner before checking out at all (we were forced to just leave the apartment at the appointed time, since noone came), we had to wait a long long time for answers to our questions before our arrival....
So host-wise, this was not a great experience. This is not a high priority for us, so we would visit this Apartment again, however if you expect a proactive, communicative host with lots of tips or just being approachable and attentive - this is not it.
The apartment, however, IS very lovely. :)
