The apartment is clean and bigger than I expected. Mauro was friendly and response quickly to my messages. He's also very kind to let my husband and me check-in earlier and when we could not make it on time, he was patiently waiting for our apprival. He also privided very good information about where to shop and eat in the area we stayed.
There's one improvement I'd suggest Mauro to make: including things he likes the guests to do in the house rules on the airbnb wetsite. On the day we departed, Mauro sent us an email which said it was appreciated if we could follow some steps to tidying the place, including:
- Sort out and bag up your garbage neatly. If necessary find and use the extra bags available in the bathroom.
- Wash your dishes. Perfectly OK to leave them out, we’ll put them away.
- Hang up used towels in the bathroom to dry. Rinse dirt off all bathroom fixtures.
- Make sure all outside shades are latched (opened or closed, doesn't matter) and all windows are closed.
- No need to strip the beds.
I'd prefer I had seen these steps under the house rules -- for transparency and opennes between the hosts and the guests.
