Rita was a wonderful host!!
She speaks little to no English (just as we speak little to no Italian!)
Despite this, communication was great - I used google translate to reply to messages in Italian, and Rita had pre-prepared notes written in English to explain the wifi use and a few other things. She was very flexible with check in time, and as we advised her we would be arriving with some wet clothes, had a clothes horse ready for us to use :)
The apartment is comfortable, but has no air conditioning, and was quite warm inside. It's too noisy on the street to comfortably sleep with the windows open. The location was within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and cafes.
Good for a night or two, but may be a bit uncomfortable in the heat and noise for a longer stay.
