Nicola as a host was very responsive! He left a welcome gift which was very thoughtful. His instructions for check in were clear a precise, which we appreciated. When problems arose he was quick to respond, which we also appreciated.
The area was nice. It was more of a residential area, with restaurants and cafe near, as well as a 24 hour supermart. There was a train station super close as well as a few bus stops, and even late at night we felt super comfortable walking around.
I felt there were some discrepancies in the photos and the actual flat. We came in off season and had narrowed down several very nice airbnbs. We were disappointed when we found the flat in somewhat poor condition. There was a cleaning issue, which Nico was quick to resolve, but still when you check in you hope to not need to worry. The walls were dinged and nicked and had mismatched paint. This was a special getaway for us and we had pick of pretty much any apartment so it was disappointing to feel like we had picked a “run down” apartment. We thought about relocating but had packed in so many sights, we ultimately decided we would be out so much that we didn’t want to give up our short time in relocating.

Also the pictures made it look like the washer and dryer were in the room(this was an important criteria as this was one of our last stops) and they are actually shared, which again was ok but a bit inconvenient as we needed to be present when washing, we couldn’t load and come back to dry.
All in all it was an ok stay, the rating reflects our rating of the host more than the flat itself.
