We really wanted to love this place, especially considering how friendly the host was and how cute/clean the apartment is. However, we came away a bit disappointed.
Patrizia was extremely nice and communicative and her staff was polite and helpful. She allowed early check-in and recommended some great things to do/eat in the area! The location was perfect, the view was unmatched, the terrace was beautiful and the apartment so lovely. However, there were a few disappointing experiences during our 2 night stay.
1) Bugs. We came away with several bug bites all over our bodies and were constantly awoken by bugs buzzing in ours ears. The doors and windows were closed, and I managed to kill about 5 mosquitos, but that didn't seem to help. We toured Italy for 8 days and never got a bite, inside or outside, except for in this apartment.
2) Internet. The internet was slow and spotty. We had to spend time moving around the room to find a place for the internet to load.
3) The shower. While I understand this apartment is older, so the water pressure was not great, I was frustrated by the water temperature. It fluctuated from cold to extremely hot throughout the entire shower, which was an extremely unpleasant experience.
