Let's call this the little apartment of oddities. Here's why:

The Pros:
- Monica is helpful and available via phone/text if needed. We had some confusing translation issues, but were able to work it out in the end.
- The bed is extremely comfortable and warm.
- Monica leaves modest fixings for a small breakfast, which is kind and thoughtful.
- Check-out time was flexible.

The Cons:
- The shower is a nightmare. As many other reviews state, it is in the hallway of the bathroom and doesn't drain properly, which means you literally need to take a squeegee to the floor and rake it dry unless you want to walk through half an inch of water to go to the toilet. Not ideal for that midnight wee.
- There is no working light in the toilet. Strike two for the midnight wee.
- The heater is overly complicated and makes a ticking sound every 30 seconds until you turn it off/on. Not great for winter sleeping.
- No wifi, but this is apparently very common in Italy. Still a bummer if you need it.
- No hair dryer. Fine in summer, but when it's 0°c outside, not so fine.
- Semi-centrally located, but still a jaunt to points of interest.

Overall, our experience was mehhh. But that's what you get for last minute holiday booking!
