Nic

location excellent and property was cleaned well when we arrived. the place is charming, you are in the atmosphere of the old pisa town. flat is spacious, although space is not utilised to its full potential. Terrace is lovely at night (when you can bear the heat)

we were told there would be plenty of fans (in the abscence of air con) but there was only one. it was not possible to be comfortable in such a heat with only one fan that we had to move about. ON second day, texted agency with a few questions, for example the shower was not draining. Did not reply at all until a week later, on the day we were moving. We had to unblock the shower ourselves. Appliances are very old , fridge and oven (we could not get the oven to work. Some appliances had to wrong plug for sockets (microwave/kettle), had to find adaptors ourselves. those could have been resolved with communication. Musquitos were everywhere. Overall it is a charming property but not up to the standards it should be for the price as well.

The apartment is a dream for two people wanting to be in the heart of Pisa. A 10 out of 10 in this scenario. It is very near all the landmarks and quite calm. The terrace is perfect to chill in the evening. Internet works very well and the instructions of what to do in the apartment are clear. The shower has very hot water with a lot of pressure.

The place is NOT family friendly and perhaps simply should not allow families/kids. While the kitchen is there, it is not very well equipped or distributed: there is no counter space because there is a, very useful, microwave which does not appear in the photos. The hot water in the kitchen 'does not work'. This comment was already made by another family. Yes, there's some lukewarm water coming out at times, but not really. There's no cutting knife. The oven, which we tried to use during our last night and around which the whole dinner was planned, was unusable because it made the electricity of the whole apartment go off. All this said, if you are not into cooking, it is perfect for coffees and heating things up in the microwave. We had to move two sofas, from their current position across a long room to along the windows. When putting them back to their original place the night before leaving, and before the 23:00 hours slicence time, and in the same room where 3 babies were sleeping and didn't wake up because of this 15 seconds moving, we were told off by the owner and made aware that "furniture should/could not be moved from its original position" (What kind of request/demand is this on a rental apartment???). We have a pram, that we left in the close at the entry. We were told we couldn't leave it there, fair enough I suppose. However, we wer told to bring it to the apartment, which was a curious ask, given that to get to it a metal gate has to be opened, which presses against the entry step and the opening is only partial, and it's completely impossible to make anything bulky pass through.

This cozy apartment is situated just a few minutes from the Leaning Tower. The best there is the view from the terrace to the beautiful garden with a lot of birds sounds. We loved it and enjoyed there our breakfasts and a rest time. We didn´t feel like in the middle of the city. Maybe the windows to the street aren´t well soundproof but we didn´t noticed any strong noise. Just the cars sometimes and sometimes the people conversation, no parties nearby :-) We were three adults and the beds are very comfortable even the couch as an extra bed for two. Also the grocery and restaurants are close to the apartment. Basic kitchen equipment available. If you need the bus stop is just in front of. Really recommend we were so satisfied. I would say it´s bigger then on the photos could look like. The staff was in contact with us. Thanks a lot for your help with the taxi and early check-in.

The best part of this apartment is a huge terrace facing private garden- it's big, with a beautiful view. Perfect for a nice breakfast or lunch outdoor. Its located in the city centre with easy access to shops, cafes, park, bus stops etc.. but far enough from the main tourist places to feel more local. Apartment is spacious and bright, but need a bit of upgrade to get better score. Its on the 2nd level of the building without lift- for us it was not a problem. Stairs are wide and comfortable. Agency running the place is very good and responsive. Micól- thank you very much for trying to help every time I had a question!!

Kitchen was a big disappointment- it looks lovely on the photo...but needs some serious upgrade. We stayed there for 8 nights with kids and we selected the place with a kitchen as both of us like to cook. Firs of all- there was no hot water connected at all ! And no dishwasher- so every time we wanted to do the dishes we had to heat up the water in some old kettle. and yes- there was no electric kettle. Gas cooker was with one electric hob, and we were trying to avoid using gas ones- as the gas smell was a bit too strong and suspicious. Fridge is quite small and old ( i guess 20yr at least) with a micro freezer - so you can probably use for making some ice cubes. It wont be a problem for a short stay- but we have booked the place for 8 days. Another thing is sleeping space on the sofa. Bedroom is OK, but the if you travel in 4 people, or family with kids, someone will end ups sleeping on the sofa in something witch is a corridor space- which wont be the end of the world- unless windows would offer any sort of sound-proofing. This space is located from the street side- with a large public parking outside- so there could be noise from people and cars until late at night.. and windows from this side of the building are old, timber ones and its difficult to close them properly and they don't give any sort of sound insulation. Main bedroom on the other hand is perfect and quiet. At the moment I would definitely recommend this place for a couple, but not larger group- unless you go sleep late. There is no air-condition- so could be hot in summer, but this is only my assumption. During our stay temp was around 20C- and it was perfect.
