What a fantastic apartment in such a fantastic area. Literal 5 minute walk from the train station. The area is full of restaurants, bars, parks, landmarks, etc. Very lively, but quiet at night. The apt was as described. My friend and I met with the host's wife, Lorella. She's an extremely pleasant person. Very personable and communicative. We arrived before their regular check-in time, but they were able to accommodate me. So, thank you for that!
There are a few tidbits that I'd like to add about the apartment.
- The toilet seat was not properly attached to the toilet. I tried tightening it myself, but it did not work. So, it was uncomfortable because it would slide with a slight movement and not stay put.
- The drain from the shower seemed clogged. While showering, a lot of water would pool in the shower. Sometimes it would overflow a bit and would wet the floor.
- The shower head did not work properly. I think it was also clogged and water only came out from one side.
- Both my friend and I would get really bad allergies as soon as we'd get into bed. Not sure what caused it exactly (specific detergent, or dust) but as soon as we'd hop into bed, our eyes would immediately get very itchy/red, itchy body, constant sneezing, etc. Glad we had Zyrtec which helped.
The above mentioned were not major issues (and are easily fixed) as we'd essentially spend the whole day out adventuring, and would only come back to shower and sleep. Plus, we only stayed for two days. I can see these issues becoming more of an annoyance for people staying longer than a few days.
As I said, the home is in a GREAT location. Our short stay was good and the hosts were very communicative/personable. PS: Can't beat the price!
Thanks again for allowing me to stay in your home.
