Pros: Great value. Very close to the water. A very kind Italian gentleman checked us in. Although he spoke broken English, he was thorough in showing us around the apartment floor and did his best to accommodate our needs and share restaurant suggestions. The apartment is very clean and tidy. They provide bottled water, coffee and tea. He provided an extra pillow as requested and was very apologetic about the spotty Wi-Fi and tried to improve its connection (but was unsuccessful for our room’s location).
Cons: Be prepared for several flights of stairs to get to the apartment. There are signs at the entrance that say “no smoking”, but they do not enforce this house rule. It smelled like cigarette smoke on the entire floor. Spotty Wi-Fi. The AC was not strong at all. We had to open the window to get cool at night and therefore had to deal with mosquitoes. The clothes washer does not work. It was not decorated in a fashionable way in the bedrooms as the photos on the listing indicate - there was no bedspread and the sheets were poor quality, very thin with weird graphics. The bathrooms are shared.
For the price it was a good choice for just needing a place to crash after sightseeing. But the cigarette smell irritated my wife.
