The apartment was in a building a few blocks away from the Fontana stop of the underground. The neighborhood is safe and fun to walk around; it's also easy to run errands at the nearby grocers, bakery, etc.
The apartment was clean; the building was clean. Maite, the local contact with the rental company Let's Holidays, did a wonderful job with the check in.
The apartment had two spacious bedrooms; the third bedroom is small (as shown in the picture), but still good to have. The apartment also has two bathrooms - one large and one small - which was nice to have.
The building that the apartment was in was clean, safe and quiet. Unfortunately an apartment, in the building next door, that shared a wall with our apartment threw a party that started at 10:00 p.m. (22 hours) one night and continued into the next day - loud music that started the night before continued going at 2:00 pm (14 hrs) . This is not a fault of the VRBO, but is a factor to consider if renting in a city neighborhood.
Street noise was not loud. We were in the apartment in April, and had the windows open from time to time, and the noise was reasonable.
The apartment has a nice layout, and the kitchen had lots of dishes. We did not use the stove or oven. We did not use the washer or dryer in the utility room.
The apartment has a little wear and tear, and some minor repairs are needed to doors as well as generally painting some areas.
The rental payments and paperwork is not finalized through the VRBO website, but rather via a link, provided by Let's Holiday, to a separate portal system. This was initially confusing, but a Let's Holidays's central contact addressed questions about the different, separate system for payment. Having more information about this before making the reservation would be welcomed. This may not be an issue for European travellers, but it was a departure from how VRBO reservations are made in the U.S.
