Staying at Alessandro's place was generally a good idea - it's in a great location, relatively clean (the carpet could use a vacuum though), and communication is good. However, it took until the 3rd day of our stay before we were finally able to get a key for the building, due to the key not being where it was supposed to be and the concierge not being able to find it at first, and Alessandro not being in town to deal with it. We had to rely on luck and neighbours to get into the building. The second piece is that Alessandro didn't provide toilet paper - not a big deal that we had to buy it, but I'm used to tp being pretty standard in any accomodation...so that wasn't a great surprise after a long day of traveling.
