Starting with the good things: the location is just perfect, close to everything. We didn't even use our bus tickets. We were a party of four and the apartment had the perfect size: two bedrooms with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen for making breakfast (important in Italy to make your own breakfast), a clean bathroom with a washing machine (which we didn't use). It's all very simple, but practical and not crumbled. The master bedroom was at times noisy, but this was not really a surprise at this very central location, so we had some drunkards partying by the window one evening and the garbage collectors throwing countless bottles in their truck at 7am on Saturday. Yet, I would not even call this a downside because we wanted to stay central. Everything went very smoothly: booking, key business, instructions and directions upon arrival. Thank you to Sara.
Now the really bad thing: we totally relied on the restaurant suggestions contained in the "guest handbook" available in the apartment (which was, in fact, excellent in may respects, with a lot of useful explanations, e.g. about where to find a pharmacy, bank, taxi etc.). We wanted to avoid falling into tourist traps, so we blindly followed the handbook for our choice of restaurants and it was a general disappointment. I tried to be specific here, but FeWo-direkt / HomeAway told me to amend these comments to remove references to establishments other than the apartment itself. OK. I'm not naming names, but beware NOT to follow the guest handbook when it comes to restaurants. It is misleading. And I hope they will be more careful in the future because we did leave with the impression that we were misled. At the end of the day it would have been better if we had made bad choices out of our own ignorance and not because we trusted the recommendations.
