Access to the Townhouse was easy and Luigi's instructions were very clear. Parking can be an issue as it is only 2hr between 9am and 6pm. Although Luigi is renovating the Townhouse and he is trying to keep to the 1800's theme, it lacks the basic fittings we expect from a 41/2 star property. We would rate it as a 2 star dwelling at present because of the following: the stairs were bare and could have a carpet strip, the chairs in the kitchen are dangerous as they are nearly falling apart. There is a serious issue with ants (and we were not leaving anything out to attract them) in the kitchen, and both bedrooms. There are no light fittings or carpets anywhere, the bathroom could use some towel rails and a decent mirror that one can use. There were a few wine glasses, consisting of one glass and two plastic there were no hand towels and face washers. The bath towels provided had brown paint on them. One of the soap dispensers was broken and there weren't any bars of soap provided. The beds were very comfortable. The sink in the second bedroom however is disgusting and should be replaced. The three levels of stairs were a bit of an issue although we were advised that there were stairs just not three levels.
We selected Luigi's townhouse because it was supposed to be five minutes walk to the city centre, Salamanca Place and the 'dock' area. It is a five minute drive and most probably a 15 minute walk. That didn't suit us as we had an elderly lady with us.
When we requested glasses and towels Luigi was very helpful and accommodating.
Overall the Townhouse lacked home comforts (this is nothing to do with renovations) and felt like a dormitory and it's description was over written.
