I have stayed one week in Francesco's place and here are the plusses and minuses of my stay:
Plusses:
1. The self check-in procedure instructions were perfectly in detail. There was no hesitation and it was very easy.
2. The location of the house is great, if you choose to stay in that district. There is a bus stop 50 meters away that can take you to many destinations. Also the B line metro station Piramide and Lido Ostiense train station is a few minutes walk away and Roma Ostiense train station is also around 900 meters away which has a connection with many places in the environ including Fiumicino Airport. There are many supermarkets, cafes and restaurants around -although in these quarantine days I couldn't have the chance to try.
3. The house is decorated with cute and intellectual details, the bed is comfortable, the shower works well, the wifi is fast, the portable modem is a plus
4. At night it is silent so you can sleep well.
5. Francesco seemed so goodwilling, showed his emotions through messages, wanted to be as helpful as he can online. He proposed solutions in clever details to get through the problem.
Minuses:
1. Although Francesco sent me a message stating that the house is ready, cleaned and disinfected, dirt and dust was everywhere. I was really shocked to see the house like that during these sensitive Covid-19 threat days. The cooker, the sink, the kitchen tiles, the dish rack, all the kitchenware were dirty, even the coffe machine was full of used capsules. The bedroom, especially the bedstand was dusty, I was very irritaded when I swept it with a piece of tissue and saw a lıad of dust on the tissue. I have took all the photos and sent also to the host. I had to sanitise everything I used and used only those items during my stay. I am sorry for really goodwilling Francesco, I'm sure he is also sorry and this is the cleaning personel's fault. But as a result Francesco is the host, this wouldn't happen if he had the chance to check the flat.
2. The house seems so much nicer, brighter and larger in the photos so be prepared for it.
3. There was a welcome snack and a bottle of mineral water in the kitchen. The snack was something I would never eat and the bottle of the mineral water was already opened, I can't know why, so I did not consume it either.
3. There are a few other small issues but no need to mention it here. The most important issue is the cleaning.
