Rafaella is very friendly and uses her phone to translate and asked several times if there was anything we needed.
This large, pretty apartment, with high, arched ceilings is ~36 steps up from the street and within a ten minute walk to grocery stores, many restaurants, old town, the beach, the marina and private parking nearby she can arrange. There are lots of stairs in this town.
She has good dining recommendations and some give discounts for her guests.
There are 2 good AC units in the bedroom & living room. There is a breeze from the ocean that helps cool off the apartment. The on demand water heater and clothes washing machine work well. There is an open air drying area for clothes on the balcony outside the living room.
There are good screens on the windows in the bedroom, living room, kitchen. The bathroom screen needs to be updated - it is rusty/clogged with dust. The bedroom balcony has a small seating area with an ocean view to enjoy people watching and the bedroom balcony doors block sound from below very well.
The Internet access was slow with the best access in the living room. There was free “WiFi4EUVieste” network on the front balcony with better speed than inside.
The kitchen does not have an oven, microwave or electric coffee maker, only a stovetop espresso maker. It needs a much larger plastic cutting board and a large chef knife. There was a bread knife that worked well on crusty Italian loaves!
We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely return.
