Great location and very quiet. The A/C worked well and it was so nice to have a washing machine and two bathrooms! The cohost Nino was extremely helpful with giving us recommendations for restaurants and showing us everything in the apartment and how it all worked. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed.
Just a couple of odd things, but these did not take away from a great place to stay, just thought I should share:
Francesca told me her brother Nino would be meeting us for check in. Once we chatted with him he said he was not her brother and quickly changed the subject. It was a bit odd. Then for our final day, our checkout time was 10am or 11am (can’t remember). We discussed our flight time with Nino and said we would probably leave around 8:30am. When we went to walk out at 8:30am, there was a man standing in the stairwell in front of the door to the apartment. He saw us trying to get our backpacks out of the skinny door and showed us how to open the other door to make more room. He had a couple of grocery bags with him. We thought he was a tenant of the building and thanked him. He kept standing there and we told him several times to go ahead (we weren’t sure if he was going up or down the stairwell). After a bit, he told us he was going into the apartment to clean it. We were quite confused and not comfortable letting him in. He then told us he was the owner. He could tell we were uncomfortable letting him in. He was very nice and had us shut and lock the door and then he unlocked it with a key to show us he had access. We felt uncomfortable that he was there an hour and a half or two before our checkout. What if we were still in the apartment getting ready?
The greeting host (Nino) did not say he was figuring out our departure time because someone was going to come early to start cleaning it before checkout time. We would have been fine with that if it was communicated to us. I am not sure this happened because of our departure time discussion, just thinking they may be connected.
Everyone was very nice, it was just odd.
