Giuseppe's place was very nice and clean, Giuseppe was not there to greet us, and check-in through use of a lock box was not difficult. There is a parking available permit to park on the street for an additional fee of 5 Euros per day, which I cannot recall if it was listed in the ad or not. If you have a car you will need a permit, as all of the town has parking permit requirements. The beach is roughly a 12 minute walk, which for us would normally be fine, but is bit long with two young children. Air conditioning in the bedrooms worked great, and can only be turned on when in the unit.
My issues with not greeting us in person simply had to do with the fact that some items were missing (dish soap, dish towels, only one roll of toilet paper) when we arrived, and given our arrival later in the day I had thought that maybe they simply were not included. However, when we did meet two days later (Giuseppe is very nice!) he did provide this to us. Additionally, there were no additional item (ie. oil/spices for cooking, coffee, breakfast items) provided at other previous places, and internet use in the evenings was limited, as I believe it is shared between more than one apartment. I will say that I have no idea if other places in the area provide these things, though they a very welcome touch.
Overall, the place itself is very nice, as is the backyard area, though lacking some of the personal touches provided by other places we stayed on our trip in Italy.
