If you are planning to stay here in the next couple of weeks, I would choose a different apartment. In general, the apartment was clean and well kept and appeared as it did in the pictures. However, there was extremely loud building work going on during the day and it looks like it will continue for a while. We came back for a rest in the afternoon but couldn't relax as the whole building was vibrating from continuous noise from power tools which started early in the morning. Luca did apologise and said he could offer earplugs. If this was a joke, we didn't find it funny. We also chose this particular place because it had a small patio. When we arrived, the outside area was covered in masonry dust from building work that had taken place, and it looked as though it hadn't been cleaned for quite some time. There was also a large pile of used cigarette ends in a bowl outside. So, even though Luca & Alba offered to clean it the day after, it didn't seem worth it as we were leaving the next day. The very late 3pm check-in is also a little inconvenient if you arrive by noon like us. So all in all, it was a thumbs down. Location was excellent though and communication was good. However, they need to warn guests if there is building work going on.
