On the positive side, Andrea is a super friendly host who will get out of his way to make your stay pleasant. Communication is fast, check in was easy, and the apartment is in a great, quiet neighborhood close to the city center. Thank you!
On the negative side the apartment no longer looks like the pictures. Maybe the pictures were taken when the apartment was fresh a few years ago, or maybe they were staged by a professional designer. Today (October 2019) the apartment is much more “bare-bones” with many decorating touches missing or broken. For example, the matching dining table/chairs off the kitchen are gone and replaced with a mismatched arrangement, the decorations in the small bedroom are gone including area rug, books/bookshelves and the American flag / desk, and in the large bedroom has a 9-arm chandelier of which 5 arms are broken off or the bulbs burned out. All aircondo remotes were dead/oxidized, and the air condo in the large bedroom wasn’t working.
