The pictures of the apartment and terrace are exactly the same in real life. Location was excellent, and we felt very safe. I had read all the reviews prior to traveling and though comments stated the beds were comfortable I was a little concerned as the group I traveled with, including myself has back issues. I was so happy to find there was no issue at all in sleeping comfortably! My messages to the host Lucia were also always responded to in a timely manner which was great. Meeting with Guido upon our arrival was quick and the “check-in” process was simple. For our “check-out” he simply said we only needed to leave the key and close the door. So simple! :)
The only thing I did not inquire about in detail prior to our trip was in regards to the air conditioning. This is something I will learn from as a key takeaway as being from the US I didn’t think there would be any issue. The apartment has it but the three units are in the living room, in one bedroom, and in the kitchen. The second bedroom does not have air conditioning at all, only a fan which is a little loud. We traveled during a week that was extremely hot- up to over 100 in temperature so it was a bit uncomfortable. Given the building is old we did not find out until our arrival that we could not have all three air conditioning units on at the same time as power would shut off. I wish I had known this before our trip.
Overall a great stay.
