Alessandro’s apartment is in a suburban neighborhood. It is convenient to travel to main tourist areas as it is near to metro and bus stations. There are many restaurants, cafés, pizza shops, pastry shops and 2 supermarkets (Co-op and Elite) nearby the area. The apartment is very spacious, can easily accommodate 6 pax. The apartment is in an old building and uses an antique lift, which we found was very unique. Everything in the unit was okay except the shower. The hot water supply was very short, and water pressure was low. It made taking shower a challenge in the cold weather. We informed Alessandro and he acted promptly to get a plumber to change the shower system on the next day. We pointed to the host that the kettle was worn out with thick scale. He replaced with a new one the next day.
Alessandro was easy to reach and helpful. He helped us to book taxi to airport on the last day. He provided many info on places to eat, nearby places to visit and many other tips. This is the first time I encountered such an informative and helpful host. The restaurants recommended by him were authentic and delicious. He is also generous as he provided breakfast items, snacks, juices, coffee and beers. We accidentally broke a vase but Alessandra was very kind and did not want to charge us on the vase.
Alessandro’s apartment is a nice place to stay. However, due to its Airbnb Plus status, it was a slight letdown as I expected better quality in appliances and interior deco.
