Be careful when booking this Airbnb. Alessandra made me pay 60€ for a light switch that broke just by me pressing it. Bare in mind, there is no wrong way of pressing a light switch (so it couldn’t have been miss-use from my side), but she didn’t care and I had to pay anyway. She blames me for not telling her, but she told me she had to leave town because of the death of a relative, so I just didn’t want to bother her (she didn’t care about that either). There were many things not great with my stay and I wouldn’t have time to contact her for every single problem:
1. When I tried repairing the broken switch (it was just out of place) there were sparks coming out of the plug, which made me a bit scared and very reluctant about the condition of the electrics in the apartment. Safety and working appliances are responsibility of the host and she didn’t make sure her electric was properly functioning.
2. The oven didn’t work, it would go only for a few minutes and kept turning itself off.
3. The key downstairs was very bad and only worked after many tries. The first time I got stuck outside until a neighbor arrived and opened the door.
4. She didn’t give me blankets at the start of my stay, it got cold and it was not clear where they were. She did write about them later, but then I already had to search (and only found a really small one)
5. The bottle opener was broken, which is especially annoying since I was very much looking forward to Italian wine! Which I wouldn’t have mentioned if she hadn’t blamed it on me
6. There was no trash bin in the bathroom.
7. She never told me where the bins where and then complained about me leaving (contained!) rubbish bags behind
8. The photo in the add shows a sofa outside, which was not there during my stay. The sitting outside was one of the reasons I choose this place.

Those were all minor things for me that I wouldn’t have bother mentioning if she wouldn’t have made me pay 60€ for a light switch and put me through a lot of arguments via text. It was a lot of work to deal with her. I was staying at her place for work purposes and only wanted a peaceful stay.
Her apartment is nice, but I wouldn’t recommend staying with her. It was a lot of trouble and it’s not worth risking worries and lost time. She did allow me to check in early, which was nice, but that often happens in Airbnb and I’m sure you can find another place that does that and doesn’t blame you for their faulty appliances.
