We chose the apartment as it was close to amenities especially the public transport. On top the apartment came with speedy wifi and the price was good. Although the furniture is dated ( the sofa need reupholster and the rugs.. Oh they must have been there when the apartment was initially furnished).. the beds are comfy and that was all we need for the holiday... and a microwave would really be handy We had no face to face interaction at all with the host, instruction for check in was via email, which was fine but would be great to have the host greeted us as we had few questions to ask.. We would also like to see a copy of the house rules, instructions, information written in English. As it was, the only instructions in english was for smokers and a reminder to turn off the appliances. We had to turn to XXX translator(Does not always translate correctly) to find out information on house rules, recycling place, check out procedure, how to operate the washing machine etc..We used the communal washing machine only to find out later it was faulty when we could not retrieve our clothes..A gentleman who came later helped us and informed us it was faulty. A note in Italian( was missing anyway) was apparently posted the previous day. There were also renovation works fronting the apartment, noisy and they did start work early in the morning. Did not bother us too much as we were out most days
