Let me start off by listing the good things about this place...

You really can't beat the price for it's location. The apartment is located right off the main street where the vendors sell good/crafts from their carts. It is also very close to the train station (5 min walk) and about a 5 min walk to the Duomo as well. Alber was also kind enough to stay until 9PM the night we arrived to let us in. He also has a water dispenser for filtered water.

Now, on to the actual stay. First of all, the room we booked was not "available", so we were put in a different but "bigger" room. The room itself was OK but we were not provided with any blankets and Alber was not around (he does not stay at the apartment) to provide any for us.
Secondly, we pretty much got eaten alive by what we assume were both mosquitos and fleas. We know that this happened while we were in the apartment because we wore long pants and covering shirts all day and didn't notice the bug bites until the morning-after slept in t-shirts and shorts.
Another major problem about our stay was the intermittent hot water while showering. The water was either very cold or scalding hot- I guess I can't complain about this too much considering the shower drained properly.

Furthermore, the WiFi is terrible- slow and only works when you are in the common room.

AND for the love of God, do NOT do your laundry here! We tried using the machine (we read all the instructions) but the machine didn't use any of the detergent we put in. So, when the cycle finished our clothes were hot and wet and did not smell clean at all. My sister tried to run it again (without putting new detergent in) to see if the machine would use the detergent, and Alber made us pay for "washing our clothes twice"-10 euro (5 each cycle) for clothes that were smelly and sopping wet.

The most terrible part about our stay was the fact that there was no electricity on the last night/morning. This meant no wifi, the fridge wasn't cooling and absolutely no hot water for the shower. We couldn't even contact Alber to let him know we were leaving early (because there was no Wifi to message him) because there was no power for the router.

Final thoughts: I wouldn't stay here again. I would pay 10 euro more and stay somewhere a little less convenient but has the basic necessities such as hot water and electricity.
