THE HOST
Unfortunately, based on my experience, Michaela is a really bad host. Honestly I do not know how come as based on the reviews I expected something else.
But actually I could have anticipated it as, when i asked for additional photos, her first response was simply ,,what for?". Then i had to explain :)
Her entire communication was in an ARROGANT manner!
If you expect to discuss something properly forget it.
At our arrival Michaela asks us to leave our luggage till the space gets cleaned. We arrive and the person who supposed to clean isnt there so we waited in front of the door. The cleaner comes gives us the key and leaves RIGHT AWAY without cleaning anything or explaining anything. I ask Michaela, who comes to clean the place she answers ,,so Giovanni succesfully gave you the keys to the apartment". I ask her another 3x in text who is going to clean the dirty floor upstairs and dirty bathroom and she ignores it, only after i call her twice then she asks me to send photos to prove it...i am like what?!
She didnt explain us anything....to name a few.. the gas pipe was turned off, so the stove wasnt working.. where the washing machine is as its hidden behind a mirror wall. Nor gave any info about anything.
Only explicitely tells us to throw the garbage out few days before our stay (which we did) but that the bologna city works in a way that u leave the trash in front of the door in certain days doesnt. (as there are no large containers as in other european cities.)
And in the end, after we left she was disgustingly offending us in text message. Well no comment.
APARTMENT:
We stayed for a month.
Freezer was broken, so we were not able to store meat longer than 3 days. Oven was broken aswell. Her response. ,, sorry but nobodoy complained before". Of course doesnt get fixed.
The boiler also broke in the last day, but was able to put the pressure back up based on the manuals.
In the kitchen the roof is so low even for a 150cm girl that you need to lower yourself to do anything otherwise you ll keep hitting your head.
Knifes are useless, we had to buy new ones.
The lighning in the apartment its quote low. In the kitchen especially bad. Upstairs well if you only sleep there its ok.
Enough space for your clothing.
Bathroom is quite cosy.
Funny how she hides on the bed photo that the mattrace for it is 20cm shorter as the frame :)
All the negative things aside the view was really awesome.
Only go for the view or if you want to stay in an apartment where everything is pink (from the hair dryer to heaters, walls, lamps, chairs...) :)
