The air conditioner worked well and as was appreciated. The apartment was in a quiet if not in an out of the way location. The adjacent court yard buildings seemed to be vacant. The only person we saw was what appeared to be a homeless young man hanging in the courtyard. The main entry door to the building was not secured and did not need a key. The entrance to the apartment looked like the door frame has been smashed in the past and pieced back together; a bit alarming. This unit would not be suited for a person with mobility issues; very narrow small stair to floor 1 (0 is ground floor in Italy). There was a small bed in the main sitting room rather than a couch or chair. The shower in the bathroom was moldy and needed a good scrubbing. The pluming was very “gurgly” if the drain cap was not left in closed position in both the bathroom and kitchen sink. In the bathroom, I needed to use my finger to manually lift the drain cap in order to release fluids down the sink. The bed was comfortable.
I know we were in a very old city with aging infrastructure, and this apartment seemed to reflect this fact. We were required to collect our garbage and take it to a drop-off location which discouraged me from using the kitchen area. This appt. was a bit to “funky” for my taste. I don't need five or even four star accommodations, but I do like to stay in a clean and safe environment. This apartment certainly did have character and it added to our adventure.
Our host communicated with us promptly, met us at the water taxi promptly, and was very efficient at getting us into to unit. Thank you.
I hope my comments will help others when choosing their accommodations.
