The photos match the inside of the apartment perfect. The home is very lovely and quite spacious. It's clean and seems new. What you see is what we got. In this aspect it was suitable and to our liking. We had feedback for our host. He was a bit defensive about it, but still made an effort to try.
The same day we arrived, I noticed while showering in the back room with the balcony, the water temperature did not stay consistent. I was very patient as to get acclimated to my Airbnb shower. No matter what I did the temperature would oscillate from extreme cold or hot. I had to hurry and rinse in between. Same first day the wifi connection was very poor to no signal, towards the back of the home. I immediately emailed our host. He instructed me about the shower, and told me signals were lower in back room. He returned from vacation 4 days after our arrival and followed up in person. I let him know both issues were not remedied yet. We went over the shower 2 more times together, but my entire stay the issue persisted. The day before we left he installed a wifi enhancer into the actual apartment. The original wifi module, we found out was inside the hosts apartment next door. Thus the weak signal. It was for only our last day did the wifi work superb. Day before departure, I left for the day. My friend stayed home, and was startled to our rental apartment front door being opened and entered into by the host. I confronted him about this and suggested that renters would probably appreciate if email, txt or verbal consent is given to enter the rented apartment first before doing so. Especially when no one is home. Unless of course in an absolute emergency. He let us know his entry was to put in a new wifi converter. On the last night we had to deal with paying the taxes. I recommend that all business be taken care of first moment of arrival. This way the renters can put all cares and commitment behind. Only to leave care for pleasure. It was more interaction with any Airbnb host I have experienced. A bit too much for my liking.

All else aside, we thank him for his hospitable efforts. For letting us stay with him in Italy which is so gorgeous! Times that I will have in my memories museum for the rest of my life.
