The stay at Monica's place was overall good. The description was accurate in the place description except for the fact that the place looked a lot more used than in the pictures. Also, the floors needed to be better swepted and some of the dishes were not totally clean. Although it was mentioned in the description, I have never had to pay extra for additional towels or sheets anywhere else I have stayed in Italy.
Upon arrival the boiler had not been turned on beforehand so the apartment was cold. Since it was winter, the heat was needed right away. Monica was responsive in helping the person that met me at the place to get the heat turned on.
The power went out on the first morning of the stay despite my reading and careful following of instructions in the booklet that was provided as I have experience staying in Italy and places where you cannot have too many appliances on at once. I was not running multiple appliances and was only using the boiler to take a shower at the time the power went off. Fortunately, it was in the morning so Monica responded within 50 minutes. She helped me locate the fuse box down in the courtyard so I could turn the electric back on. I did not have any issues after this.
Overall the stay was ok despite the power outage for a little bit the first morning. The location was great and in the perfect spot. The area of the apartment is quiet, but only a few minutes walk to the main square. The apartment is also very close to the water taxi stop and very convenient to get to and from the airport.
