I spent 5 nights here. Elena was great! Very kind and willing to offer suggestions on where to go during our extended stay.
We went during an abnormally hot week in Italy. THERE IS NO AC, just a fan. But we managed.
No common area other than the bedroom. You share the bathroom with one other room who may have 1-2 guests.
It is about 2.5 miles from the center. I walked it once and it took me an hour. There is a bus stop right out front, but only one line that takes you to the center and back.
There is a large grocery store a 10 minute walk to the northeast. However, a small fridge.
