Apartment is bigger than it seems on the pictures, nicely spacious. Some things are rather old and rusty, but it didn’t bother me too much, because it was kind of expected, and in general apartment was clean. Plus, some furnitures are kind of cute vintage and a floor is a pretty terrazzo. There is a big mirror and a lot of wardrobe space. However, if you like to bring a lot of clothes with you to wear, as I do, ask about hangers, there was not enough for me, but Christian brought more on request the same day. Also if you need an extra towel for the beach don’t forget to ask in advance, same with an iron, initially there were no ironing board, but I got a small new board few days later which was very helpful. The hairdryer was good and new. And the best thing was a transfer from the airport, Pietro was very nice and kindly helped with the luggage. However, on the way back I had to carry down my heavy luggage myself down the stairs as there is no elevator it was rather difficult.
The apartment building is okay and tidy, but the neighbourhood is rather bad. Almost every night in the courtyard there is a bunch of serious drug users right next to the entrance, so it is scary to come back and night. Sound isolation is really bad too even with windows closed you can hear everything that goes on in the neighbourhood which is not calm. All in all no good sleep.
Christian was answering messages promptly, but communication was difficult to say the least. Maybe because of things lost in automatic translation between Italian and English, we couldn’t understand each other and I end up not having any change of towels or bed linen in two weeks. Plus, the drain in the bathtub was annoyingly stuck. All things considered, it was a not very pleasant stay, to say the least.
