The accommodation itself met my needs and was adequately clean though could do with a deep clean.
Sadly all my interactions via message with Mariano were strained, right from the start when I messaged about checking-in at 22:00, despite the check-in info not having a check-in close time.
I had rented a bike and asked for help on where to store it. I had been told it wasn’t allowed in the lift and tried to carry it to the 3rd floor but, having been unable to do so, had left it in the courtyard overnight, messaging Mariano to ask if this was okay. His response was; “Sorry bike is not allowed in common spaces. Next time you leave it they remove it.
You must follow the rules. You cannot put the bike in the lift. If you don't respect my advice I'm going to notice the problem to airbnb
On Monday the concierge will chech the video camera. If we see you put it in you're in trouble”. This left me feeling very unwelcome and threatened. If I had been told there were no restrictions with chaining it up on the street this would have negated the stress caused in trying to find an agreeable solution to where to store it.

Unfortunately, the shower tray leaked and was very slow to drain so every shower flooded the bathroom. When I contacted Mariano about this he responded with; “The shower drain works perfectly. It does not empty immediately because it is connected to the toilet engine which operates it only when it is full. I think you better cancel your reservation and find yourself another accommodation because unfortunately you are a very difficult guest to manage. In any case, as I already told you at check in when I showed you the perfect functioning of the toilet, be very careful not to throw anything in it, not even toilet paper because it is a very expensive gadget, around € 900 between the piece and the labor, and if it breaks you will be charged”.
I am a host on Airbnb and would never dream of being so aggressive and unhelpful to a guest. I’m really sad that Mariano spoilt part of my trip and despite the apartment itself meeting my needs, I wouldn’t stay there again or recommend it due to his attitude.
