First of all, I’m an American size 4 and there were some tight fits navigating the apartment. If you’re larger in size, you may want to stay elsewhere unless you want to squeeze into the kitchen...forget it if someone else is in there. The shower is also very tight and your items have to be placed on the floor.
Gianluca was out of town but his girlfriend was present to help me get situated. What I appreciated was knowing who was contacting me and I had both of their contact information. They were both very responsive; she was great in getting me to the apartment easily and letting me in. Introduction/check-in needs some work, but she was kind as was the young man in the other room.
The balcony is attached to the kitchen, so if someone is smoking, your best bet is closing the kitchen door. Hopefully you’re not cooking when someone wants a cigarette.
It was great to have a washing machine to use, however, it doesn’t spin the clothing so you’ll have to ring out all the water yourself. I don’t know how effective the washer is as I had to re-wash my unders in the sink afterward, but my clothes seemed fine. A couple lines provide plenty of space to dry clothing.
The larger bedroom I stayed in faces the rising sun so it gets warm fast. Also a bit noisy from the road if the windows are open. I stayed in August so it was pretty darn warm; there was a standing air con unit that was helpful in the evening.
Wifi works great, bed and pillows comfy. Thank you for having me, Gianluca and thank you for your help, Alessandra!
