We had been in Italy over two weeks when we checked into this apartment for a 2 day stay. I requested check in instructions before we left home so we could resolve any questions at that time, but I was told I had to wait until 3 days prior to our arrival. Because of this policy, we didn’t have the benefit of getting any questions answered beforehand. We also had our dinner plans already, so the information we received on restaurants was not as helpful as it would have been, if it was sent out sooner.
Even instructions on how to access the lock box or how to use the elevator came via grainy pictures that were impossible to read. I ended up communicating via WhatsApp and using multiple text messages to get into the apartment. It was just an unnecessary hassle that would have been avoided if we received the check in instructions sooner.
The location was great- we were steps from the Duomo and just about every place we wanted to see. There is a great view from the rooftop terrace, but the instructions on how to access the view was also unclear. Luckily we met an older lady on the roof who showed us the way.
The kitchen is nicely equipped. Instructions on how to operate the dishwasher in English would be helpful, as well as an ice cube tray in the freezer.
Be prepared! The bell tower of the Duomo is right outside your window and when those bells ring at 7 am, they’ll wake you up!!
