We really wanted to like our stay but the entire experience was very disappointing from the communications with the host to finding out how tiny the washroom space was to being kept up until 2am in the morning but the noise from the street.
We chose Francesco's place because it was highly rated and it's recently listed on Airbnb. Most amenities are not worn out - simple but functional, except for the dining chairs. One chair's cushion was already torn and had been taped up.
The space was clean. The bed was comfortable. We were offered to drop off our luggage at the place before the actual check-in time which was nice to have.
Communication - the communications with Francesco were extremely difficult. He didn't respond to any of my messages after I had booked the space. He did not provide any instructions for check-in or a host's guide. I had to get the Airbnb Support involved in order for him to tell me how I could check-in. It certainly did not make a good first impression.
Noise - the apartment is located in a small alley way of an extremely busy neighborhood with a ton of restaurants and foot traffic. Do expect loud noise traveling into your space, even the windows are double glazed. Sometimes, the street noise doesn't die down until 2 in the morning.
Space - the apartment is on the third floor of an old building. Therefore, there's no elevator. The ground floor has a storage room full of junk which can be disturbing. If you plan to bring a sizable suitcase, do reconsider as the stairs are steep.
The washroom is TINY - the entrance of the washroom is not even an arm's length. You cannot bend over to wash your face over the sink (your head will hit the mirror halfway), or sit straight down to use the toilet (unless you want to sit all the way back), or straighten your arms to wash your hair in the shower (for most guys your head will probably touch the ceiling).
