Firstly, Michela the host was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to keep in touch prior to the stay and informed us very clearly on how to get into the apartment and where to find local amenities. Nothing was too much trouble. Also, the apartment itself (inside) was clean and very comfortable. HOWEVER, unfortunately I left the apartment within a few hours of arriving to stay elsewhere due to the location. The outside of the building you are staying in is not the photo with the colourful pictures on but in fact an apartment across from that and is in what can only be described as a run down area. Upon arrival we walked passed numerous homeless people sleeping either on the street or on mattresses on the street followed by numerous people congregating locally who stared at us when walking passed. Other than these people the area was like a ghost town and all shops were shut with graffiti covering the surrounding walls. We walked to find a local supermarket and felt unsafe in the area and did not want to have to walk around the same area in evenings after eating out for example. Overall, host was lovely warm and welcoming and inside of the apartment was lovely and had everything you need just be wary of the area!!
