The physical apartment is very disappointing:
1. The ceiling is VERY low and curved - we banged our heads many times a day! There are multiple sharp, dangerous corners at head height.
2. Advertises a sofa bed, but actually just a regular sofa. The sofa was also dirty.
3. The apartment was not set up for three people on arrival. We asked the host's sister (who does not speak English) for an extra towel, and then found extra bed sheets ourselves.
4. The bathroom is quite bad. The showerhead is very leaky, the shower door does not close properly - water was leaking all over the bathroom floor. The toilet seat is loose and uncomfortable.
5. The curtain is basically useless - it lets in a lot of light, even at night due to street lights, which were shining on our faces whilst sleeping. We had to make a makeshift curtain from bedsheets.
6. The apartment is quite noisy. A lot of sound enters from the street - motorbikes, horning, glass bottles. The windows had poor noise-insulation.
7. Washing machine broken.
The upside:
The host was very nice. Even though the host and their sister could not communicate in English, they tried their best. Giuseppe contacted us frequently through the Airbnb messaging service - the translated messages were good. Giuseppe was on holiday whilst we were staying at his place, but he still replied rapidly to us, providing us with recommendations and tips. We checked in with Giuseppe's sister - there was a communication barrier, but check-in was smooth. We arrived whilst the host's sister was cleaning the room, but they allowed us to drop off our belongings before check-in. Checkout was very easy, and we were able to leave at any time.
