Convenient, but expensive
We were a bit surprised when we saw the apartment building: it's central, and looks out onto pretty hotels and the church, but the apartment building itself is worn out and depressing. The whole of Cortina seems to be a mixture of beautifully renovated buildings/houses/restaurants, and others which are practically falling apart.
The apartment is central, which is very convenient, but also noisy. The bars opposite play very loud music late into the night, meaning we had to close the windows to get any peace (in summer temperatures).
The apartment itself is very well set up. We've never had such a well equipped kitchen. If you don't want to eat out every night, you can really cook like at home. The only criticism we had of the department's furnishings were the mattresses on the four single beds. Two are old and saggy, two are new but as hard as the floor. The mattresses in the main bedroom are perfect.
Warning to others: the apartment does have a balcony, but too small to use for eatings meals etc. So you're inside the whole time.
Communication with the landlord was excellent, as were the arrangements for arrival and organisation of little details like rubbish and recycling.
Overall, once we'd accustomed ourselves to the dismal building, we were happy with this choice. It still seems very, very expensive for what it was though.
