Paola, the local host, was very nice, and tried hard to make us comfortable. Physically the apartment is as advertised, and all equipment, furniture, and appliances worked well and did everything we expected. However, two different sources of noise that lasted late into every night made our stay less than we had hoped and expected. An outdoor bar directly across the street attracted a noisy crowd until at least 2:00 am every night, and the thin, lightweight windows in the living/sitting room were not enough. We had difficulty hearing the TV, had to use our earphones for music, and could not use the convertible sofa for sleeping. And worse, from our perspective, the very thin, old flooring in the upstairs apartment's dining area was the ceiling of our apartment's bedroom. This floor acted like the head of a drum, amplifying every step and movement of a chair to very disturbing levels. And, unfortunately, the upstairs residents spend many late nights in the dining room, twice until 5:00 am, completely preventing any sleep for us. We were told the hosts were working to resolve the sound issues, but recommend discussing these noise concerns with the hosts before committing to staying there.
