Pros:
-Close bus stop to city center
-Plenty of Toys and books for kids
-Lots of light
-Very nice and responsive hosts- Tomasso, Javier and Esperanza (we never heard from Martina)
- laundry detergent provided and plenty of towels
- playground 5 min walk away
-COOP grocery down the block
Cons
-amenities: no hand soap, dish soap, bath soap and 1 roll of toilet paper for a week.
-attractive apt for families but many issues for people with smaller kids. For example, nails poking out of loft ladders and living room chair, exposed/open staples poking out of dining room seats, unsecured flat screen tv on low table. we found scissors, lighter and box cutter blade on shelf in kids room among the toys. Also found a plastic bag filled with shattered glass in the laundry room. Many of these things were discovered "the hard way" by my children getting hurt or scraped.
-due to frequency of guests some broken things like bathroom doorknob, shower door, kitchen drawers and handles. We alerted Tomasso and he came the same day and again the next day to look over these issues which was very nice. However it interrupted our stay to deal with it. The nails did get removed, but the items in disrepair were not addressed during our stay.
Also, directions to the flat we were given were not precise/detailed, resulting in a real hassle as we were traveling with 3 kids plus strollers and luggage. The correct instructions from the SMN station are: take bus 1A to Carraciolo or 1B to Madonna Della querce".
