While the apartment is charming, it could certainly benefit from some modern renovations. The apartment doesn’t feel warm and inviting. It’s rather cold, the family room is hot and the furniture it NOT comfortable for the family to come together. The second bedroom beds are something out of an orphanage with extremely hard and uncomfortable beds. I can appreciate the newer tiled bathroom floors, the old molding shower I cannot appreciate. The biggest problem were the tiny ants that ran in the kitchen, bathroom sink and along the walls by the doors and windows. When mentioned to Alissa she told me it’s expected due to the time of year.“ Hi Jeanette, If you had an ant problem, I really apologize. This is the time of year when a lot of them come out, because winter is approaching and they are stocking up. It’s not just an issue with the house itself”. So I was left to just deal with the ants. Ants circling my toothbrush was not ideal, and definitely didn’t make me feel great every morning. Made the apartment feel dirty. We enjoyed the location of the apartment and it’s close proximity to Piazza Tasso. But after staying in Casa Ivana for six nights, I’d fine different accommodations in the future. You might want to also.
