Carmela's place has a superb location. The host is responsive and helpful, as we caught a late flight she did not turn us away but allowed us to check in an hour late for a fee. The apartment is sweet and clean, albeit worn-out, stale and in need of renovation. Half the sockets had no electricity, the oven could not be sealed and the kitchen is not fully equipped for cooking. The balcony was wonderful but we could not enjoy it fully due to the sewer smell coming from the street most of the time. We stayed for just a few days and found it great for its purpose - a starting point early in the morning and resting place late in the evenings.
