I cannot, in good conscience, leave a good review because I would be dooming customers after me to a miserable stay. This run down apartment was dirty and disgusting. The listing said there was air conditioning, and there was not! One of the three people I dealt with, Maria, complained to me endless that AirBnB took a huge percentage of the money, so she kept trying to scam me into paying more. Vincenzo (whoever he is in this mess) harassed me this 'extra fee' as well. Giuseppe, the guy who actually gave me the key and showed me how the door worked, is still a mystery. No one could communicate in decent English.
The only reason I did not demand a refund instantly is because it would have left me no place to stay. So I decided to make the best of this miserable, hot, run down place. On my last day there, Maria's grandsons showed up, even though I had paid for 7 days. She claimed to be completely clueless about why I was upset, since there were 5 bedrooms.
Maybe it's because I paid for the whole place for 7 days which was the only thing that made this squalor worth it?
Luckily, the woman who had the next AirBnB let me come a day early. Otherwise I would have been staying in a place with two teenage boys (and whoever else they would have invited) with no locks on the doors.
I was uncomfortable. I shutter to think what would have happened to a young girl if she were caught in similar circumstances and had no place to go.
The audacity of these people boarders on absurdity!
