The good:
Location is perfect! Next to restaurants, a small grocery shop, pastry shops and the market- yet tucked away enough that it is quiet sleeping at night.
The apartment itself is historic and lovely. You can feel the history here. The apartment is very large! The air conditioning units in the bedroom work well. The host provides amenities like soap, shampoo, towels, paper towels and toilet paper. The apartment is clean.
The issues:
- difficulting getting in touch with the host. It was not Orietta but a man. I tried texting, emailing and WhatsApp and finally got ahold of him by calling when we checked in.
-the dryer does not function as a dryer.. we were only able to wash, but were happy to have a washer!
- the biggest issue we had was the host/property manager trying to get us to check out early. Check out is listed at 10am. He asked upon check in and we told him we would probably check out early- around 7:30-8, but we would send a message. Well, I did send a WhatsApp message the night before that we would check out at 8:30am. At 8am he entered the apartment without knocking! We were standing in the entry hall, but asked that he leave. He asked if he could start cleaning the kitchen! It was totally weird and awkward and made the entire experience a downer. If check out is listed at 10am then it should be 10am. The pressure to check out early and also entering the apartment without knock
