The positives:
The location cannot be beat, guys!!! It's just wonderful to be minutes from everything. The host Marco was quick to reply. We were met at the door by Letizia and she is a total gem: cheerful, friendly, helpful. We really liked her. Also, the place is very clean. The air conditioner worked great. Even though there was no dryer as promised, in the summer heat the clothes dried in minutes.
The negatives:
The place is not exactly as described. There is a washer, but no dryer, as described. There is also **no view.** The kitchen is really bare bones. We had to ask for hot mitts, a dish towel, and a can opener. However! They took care of us right away, so that was really nice. The table and chairs pictured are on a hot tin roof and we never used them.
This is a budget accommodation--as it should be for the price. I was a little annoyed to have to pay ten Euros for sheets for the smaller bed, since it's listed as having two beds, but I did it without complaint. The listing says if we break ANYTHING we will be charged, which is a little nerve wracking since everything in the apartment is kind of cheap. The smaller bed is not for a tall person, just FYI. On the third day, my daughter sat on the small bed and it collapsed!
And here comes my big complaint. OK, the bed collapsed. I was not angry, but I expected Marco to say "I am so sorry!" and either offer to fix it/replace it or offer me a discount. Instead he said I had to pay for it!! I was actually shocked because it's incredibly obvious that the bed was not high quality. We ended up moving the mattress to the floor.
The listing clearly states there are a lot of stairs. This was not a problem for us, although it was painful getting the bags up the first time! I'm just stressing this because it's important to note.
Overall, just know what you're getting into. It's a terrific location, as I said!
