we did not meet Patrizia or her husband Carlos, as they were away on holiday, however a friend Stefania and colleague where there to meet us on arrival. She gave us a good overview of the place for our 2 night visit. They also made up the sofa bed for us which was most welcome. A small breakfast package is provided. The location is perfect; within walking distance of the railway station and you can negotiate with a porter if you don't feel like wheeling your luggage along. The Crea Vaporetto stop is also close by and we used the water bus for our return journey.
The apt. has A/C which is a necessity at this time of the year and the DIY shower assembly, once you get the hang of it is quite unique. The kitchen is equipped with most of the items you would expect at home. All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending Patrizia's place to any prospective guests.
