Check in required getting in touch with Riccardo, as the instructions were not loaded properly. He was quick to respond. The apartment stank of cigarette/ cigar smoke, and 2 air con units were not working. The laminate flooring in the main bedroom was broken and loose, and there were dirty dishes and rubbish left in bins on arrival. Dirty stain on wall from fallen drink by master bedside tables. Riccardo was accomodating of our request to check out slightly later.
Immediately after we left, he stung us with an unexpected 'extra cleaning fee' of 100 euros. This was because we had spilled a coffee and wiped this up with a towel, and stripped the beds of sheets ready for the cleaners, leaving them by the bedroom doors for collection. After discussion Riccardo said he would remove his request, if we left a good review. He then insisted again that we leave a good review.
Frankly, the apartment is nice enough if you don't mind the smell. I personally wouldn't stay again - I think he's dodgy! Either that or just rude, charging 100 euros for what would have been solved in routine cleaning (if that's happening at all) - especially given the state of the apartment.
C- , but not horrible.
