"This apartment had the most surreal views! It was lovely and clean and comfortable as well. It’s a shared space but you have your own room and bathroom and the other guests were nice and didn’t disturb us at all. But the reason we rate this place so highly is because of the incredible host, Ludgero. We got in an unfortunate accident on our first day (please drive carefully on the roads) and our host offered to pick us up from the hospital and checked in with us the next day. We were overwhelmed...

"The location and unit were great. Views from the 2 balconies were wonderful. Communication with the property management was good, but check in was a little complicated as you have to pick up you key at their office, which isn't far from the unit, but difficult to access. Would be a lot easier if the key lock was located at the property itself. Other than that, the unit itself was wonderful."
