Things started well. The host messaged to ask what time we would arrive; she arranged for her friend to be at the apartment to hand over the keys (he also showed us where the wifi passcode was).
The area that the apartment is in is great and the views from the rooftop are excellent (well worth the climb).
The air-con was pleasant and it was very welcome after arriving on a scorching hot day.
Unfortunately, that is where it ends. Once we were in the apartment, it became clear that it was not suitable to stay in. There was a brown stain on the bedsheet and I don’t think they had been washed.
The shower did not work and was dirty- hairs in the tray and the glass was grimy.
Bugs were present in the apartment. The front door does not reach the floor and I think they (little crawly ant-like things) were getting in that way. Naples was in the middle of a heatwave so maybe they were looking for a cooler place to be.
The kitchen had many stains in different places- something greasy down the side of the fridge and a mat on the work surface looked like it had never been washed. The fridge itself definitely had not been cleaned and contained a blackened lemon and a half eaten bar of chocolate.
We did not end up staying at the apartment and instead found alternative accommodation. The whole experience was very disappointing and stressful; the description, pictures and previous reviews bore no resemblance to what we saw.
