What worked:
The location of this apartment is very good. The host Elisa and her friend Stefano are responsive via email and text. The apartment is spacious, bright and comfortable - exactly as shown in the photos. We were greeted with a free bottle of wine, which was a thoughtful touch. Shampoo & soap is provided, and AC works well.
What could've been better:
From a privacy point of view, I was uncomfortable at check in as Stefano took a photo of our passport on his phone and we had to sign a form in Italian (which we don't understand) to outline what's in the apartment. I've never had to do that on Airbnb. Check in time is not that flexible, from 4-6pm with little exception.
Wifi didn't work. Both Elisa and Stefano were aware but the solution they offered didn't fix it either.
Water pressure is low and power cut off a couple of times when the hair dryer was on, but keep in mind it's an old building so I don't know how much this can be controlled - something to be aware of I guess.
