I fell in love Luca's apartment when I saw the pictures. I even canceled my previous airbnb and chose Luca's. From this 40 days Italy trip I used total of 10 airbnb and Luca's was the longest stay, most expensive and the last one.
Luca respond email promtly and very kind. When I was there Luca was on a trip so Marcelo meet me at the apartment. I was late 45 minutes but he waited me and explained everything in the house.
Frankly speaking I was bit dispointed. Apartment itself was ok and it was in the nice neighborhood and you can use various transportaion.
But the maintenance is not good enough. It was alreday a little bit worn down and some lighting burbs are out. Hair dryer only had cold air so I had to spend 30 minutes to dry my hair but I still couldn't finish. No shampoo, no bottled water(when you arrive at night that would be essential)
Strange marks on bathroom floor so I wouldn't dare to step on my bare feet. Bathroom has a whirlpool bath and I tried use it, but when I saw the dirts built on the nozzle I gave up. White towels should be more white and shouldn't be bad smell. Bed sheets should be upgraded.
I might be too fussy about cleaning but I think it is very important issue for traveller. I think Luca's apartment needs a professional cleaning. There were clear sneaker foot print on a white plastic chair so I should clean it and the remains in coffee machine from a previous guest. And also I smelled tobacco. I think Luca has to set up house rule not to smoke in the room.
This apartment could be nice for bunch of people who wants to share room expenses but not for the lone traveller like me.
