It was our first experience to rent a room in the apartment where somebody lives. And we did not like it much.
Francesco is a good host. He explained properly the apartment location, always answered promptly to our questions and requests (like to leave our bags in his place. Because we came earlier than checkin time and left later than checkout). However, just keep in mind that between checkin and checkout timings is 4 hours gap, not like usually 2 hours. It can be not really convenient. Like for us, we didn’t stay in the room much, just exactly for sleeping. But it’s a nice feeling when you know that you have more time to relax and you don’t need to ask because you know you have time.
The room where we stayed was big, the bed was big and comfortable. However there are not much space to accommodate your stuff. We stayed just for one night and we left everything in our trolleys.
The bathroom (shower and sink were not quite clean), even though there are rules about keeping the place in a tidy way. Nevertheless, initially it was not. And be ready to fight for a proper temperature water in the shower, because it’s a big challenge to stabilize it.
Francesco is a friendly person, gave us some advices about local eatery places.
Just one advice to him: it would be nice when guests are coming, to explain to them about the kitchen too and it’s appliances. The rest were covered by him.
