The apartment furnishment is essential and sober, which means: clean, spotless, no dust. The kitchen very well equipped, stocked with high quality authentic ingredients. The bathroom has every toiletry one could possibly need. Ipad, Bose sound system, a fine bottle of wine, breakfast, and more were offered.
Alessandro gives a warm feeling, so much so it wasn't about the money at all, much more the experience of hosting someone from another country. He really seems to understand the mutual benefits of this experience and amplifies this through his care and accommodativeness, also in the presentation of the flat. If every air BnB experience is one such as this I don't think I'd go back to staying in hotels.
