The pictures generally present the apartment quite accurately. However it is not as light and warm as it appears in the pictures. Due to the lack of sunlight and despite the heater working it was also sometimes quite chilly. However, this is probably a plus in summer.
Unfortunately, the apartment only appeared clean on the first look. I have no problem if there is still some dust under the bed but hair in the shower drain is an absolute no go.
The apartment is generally quiet and the kitchen is just big enough to cook simple dishes to survive on for a months (if you are well organised).
Even though I never met Giandomenico in person the communication worked well. He replied kindly and quickly to my messages. Due to my long stay he also provided me extra towels.
