I booked short-term with an (very good) italian speaking friend but unfortunatly she couldn't host us, because of a bathroom problem. But instead of getting this information on the mobile phone while my friend updated her on our train status (which was cancelled and the other one late), the guy who welcomed us at the train station (instead of herself) informed us about her problem. I was super surprised. Nicely she wanted to pay us an hotel (all fees included) as we couldn't stay at her place, which the guy brought us to.
So spontaneous I haven't feel comfortable and lost trust so we wanted to get a new accommodation on our own and did so. I asked her to cancel the booking, but she didn't. Just because of the airbnb mediation center I will get my payment back.
The whole way of writing communication was poor to me, as she never or just super shortly replied on airbnb, but I think she talked a lot to my friend on the phone in italian. I can't say anything about the room, but this booking was just work for me and got worse with any reaction of Mariapia. I don't know what I did wrong. I'm sorry, but I really can't tell a better experience.
