The apartment is extremely well located, clean and adequately appointed with all necessities. These are sometimes a little scruffy or minimalist, but adequate. The toaster featured in the photo of the kitchen is no longer there, no spare light bulbs were found for the one that had burned out in the living room (but we didn't trouble the host either, and could have done), the bedside lamps in the master bedroom are no longer the red ones as in the photo, there is an extra armchair and newer slipcovers on the sofa.

Four people are very comfortable (especially the two in the master bedroom, though the mattress like elsewhere in Italy is in fact two twin mattresses in a double frame), five a little less, and six would be tight but possible. TV only Italian channels, and no wifi (nor did we easily find any free wifi accessible nearby, and our vacation did not suffer from it). There are six chairs possible to assemble around a table otherwise for four.

A nearby supermarket that Monica showed us how to get to allows one to use a well-equipped if of necessity small kitchen to its best advantage. The pedestrian street was not noisy by our standards, over the first of November weekend (double-paned windows) but there were heavy sleepers among us and few walkers at night. Some noise from building, not excessive. Secure touristy neighborhood. No particular suggestions as to what to do, where to shop - aside from groceries (which was welcome), or otherwise how to make do in this city - a local series of internet printouts in a binder would have been helpful, but previous guests had left some guidebooks.

Monica and a friend of hers whose name we didn't catch and whose relation to her and the rental was unclear, were on time for the keys. No unexpected charges were made. Shower pressure is quite low, but the water hot and the central heating effective. What you see is pretty much what you get.
