Good communication and good location. The place is clean and in reasonable good shape. There have unfortunately been a couple of things we think Francesco could improve:
- The place is absolutely tiny. Much smaller than the photos suggest. I have never stayed in such a small place and taking it all together, you can’t spend any time in the flat, but just use it to sleep.
- speaking of the pictures: the main picture is the roof terrace. Although it is stated in the txt that the terrace is not private, putting it as the main picture was kind of misleading. Yes, it was totally our fault not reading that you have to climb 5 floors to get to a common terrace, but putting it as the main picture kinda leads to making that mistake.
- there were heavy constructions going on inside the building, in front of the door. Every day, starting at 8am, which made sleeping till after 8 impossible. These constructions have been going on for a while and don’t look close to being finished. A warning from the host would have been nice in advance.
- There are no windows in the flat - just one opening in the bedroom and the sofa room, which are leading to the corridor and therefore can’t be opened and need the blinds closed all the time if you don’t want anyone staring into the flat.
- City tax: as some other airbnb hosts, they charge an additional 3.5€ per guest and night. Some others include that fee into the airbnb rent and I feel it should be advertised if you charge that prior to booking.
Overall, we would never have booked it if we would have known above in advance. Just to sleep it is ok, but totally overpriced for that.
