10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Great location. We loved the size of the apartment and all the accommodations.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Location was awesome - close to everything. The unit was spacious and comfortable and was perfect for our group of eight. The air conditioning worked well, and the beds were comfortable. The stairs didn’t bother us - a great way to wear off the spritzes and gelato! Thank you to Renata for your wonderful farm tour and cooking experience. It was lovely to get out into the countryside for a bit, and we appreciated the time you spent with us! Amazing all around!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Place is perfect for large families. Amazing location with good A/C and WIFI. We also enjoyed the outdoor spaces.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
I was so hoping this would be amazing but sadly it left us wanting/needing more. For one, there are 5 floors of stairs that you must climb every time you leave the apartment. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR! Also, the neighbors in the building wanted us to be quiet all the time (even during regular hours).
The bathroom situation is very deceiving the way they have written the descriptions. There are 3 bathrooms, but only one of them is nice. The second bathroom with a shower was extremely small, the shower door was difficult, and there was MOLD all over the tiles. The bathroom upstairs had a tub, but no shower and the ceiling was extremely low.
All the rooms were bare minimum. There were no mirrors anywhere, very little lighting throughout and we asked for more pillows because the ones that were in the apartment were paper thin (which they said they couldn’t get more for us).
There is a washer, but no dryer and the washer was filthy and tiny so we ended up having to go to a laundromat. The laundry room was also very dirty and being used as a storage unit.
Basic items, such as garbage bags, hand soap, and items to use for cooking were almost nonexistent. I didn’t know that we would have to purchase all this for the space.
Overall, I’ve learned my lesson. I’d rather spend more and go to a hotel where I will be accommodated for my family needs. I’ve been let down way too much with VRBO.
