Hi, I’m an Italian girl and as an Italian I can say that the apartment was (maybe for our standards). When we (my boy-friend and I) arrived, we went to the market and we bought new sponges so we could wash the dishes and everything, even if there was a sponge in the sink. I would have whased the dishes even if the apartment was clean because I prefere to wash them by myself before using them. Anyways I didn’t expect that the cutlery was THAT dirty. I took a photo before and after having washed a fork.. and the difference is terrible.
Also the table was dirty and I used another sponge to clean it (and the sponge revealed all the dirt on it).
In the bathroom we found only two towels.. I don’t expect to find a bidet outside Italy (if you don’t know what that is, check it in Google), but at least I expected TWO towels for EACH of us. Am I supposed to dry my face with the same towel that I used for my body?! This. Is. Unacceptable.
Also near the sink there was a sponge and on it we could see short hair (body hair, face hair? I don’t know).
The host said that the sofa was uncomfortable, but I can assure you that also the left side of the bed (facing it) was uncomfortable too. I could not sleep the first night so my boy-friend slept in that part of the bed the second night and he couldn’t sleep too. The third and the last night he slept with the head where the feet should stay!
We found some difficulties when we arrived at the building because in Italy we have not a code system to enter and I contacted the host for help. Yue aswered very quicly but we were lucky to meet the girl who lives just in front of that apartment who helped us to get in.
