The apartment is very nice; very clean and in an excellent location; within an 8 to 10 minute walk of Piazza Tasso and 8 to the train station; it is not close to the beach.
The kitchen is well furnished but we could not find any frying pans, paper towels, Kleenex (tissues) or shower soap in the apartment. The bathrooms did have little bottles labelled “Guest” but they said “shampoo” not body soap. Dishwasher and laundry detergent were supplied; we did not see a clothes dryer but we used the balcony to hang and dry our clothes.
Once in the apartment, we found a caution notice about the amount of hot water and not to take long showers - apparently the apartment only has 80 litres of hot water and if two people are showering, you have to be FAST; otherwise, you will end up with cold water (FYI, our hot water tank in Toronto is 190 litres).
Helena, the owner, was outstanding with respect to communications! She even suggested restaurants and things to do.
Thanks Helena!
