Guilio and his mother were both very nice and the apartment is large for it’s price and has a lot of charm. Unfortunately there were many problems with our stay, and we didn’t receive much help as Guilio lives in London and his mother does not speak much English. While we were staying the water boiler broke and flooded the apartment in the middle of the night, and there was construction for the last three months of our stay that got so bad we had to leave early. Both of these experiences were not anyone’s fault, but they did lead to a not very enjoyable stay. The apartment in itself has a lot of quirks, it is very dusty and everything is old. The power goes out frequently and the hot water runs out in about ten minutes. Overall, it was difficult living here, but we managed to still have a decent time. If you do stay here, check out Balu Bar, it was our favorite coffee shop.
