Q- How did your host make you feel welcome?
A- She did not. We arrived from Zurich to the house at 1:30 PM instead of 12:00-12:30, as we had thought we would. The first thing we were told by Massimo, Valeria's assistant, that met us at the house said that we were late and that they usually charge €15.00/hr for delayed arrivals, but that they were not going to charge us. In Valeria's description it says that there will be a one charge of €15.00 if arrived after 8:00PM

Q- Was the listing description accurate?
A- Mostly. But there were important things that were no mentioned, such as the noise at all hours of the night from people coming in and out from the street to their apartments. As they come in they throw glass bottles into huge recycling plastic containers, echoing a thunder. All the apartment's windows faced this messy courtyard where huge recycling and trash plastic containers stand tall, sometimes motorcycles too. If you open the windows for air, you get the air from this stuffy trash courtyard and at night you get all the bright lights from all the outside lamps from each apartments into the bedroom. We were there for the Expo, June 2-6, and it was 90 degrees, so we had to open the windows, and there was no air coming from the courtyard but glass bottle noise and lights in our faces. Needless to say we didn't sleep for 4 nights. Then the first day when we arrived, we were hot and sweaty and we we wanted to take a shower and there was no hot water. I texted Valeria immediately and her response was not to bother her and to get in touch with her assistant Massimo, who came the next morning and fixed the hot water problem which we appreciated, since we didn't want to be inconvenienced to move out. We got in touch with Airbnb and they were very receptive and understanding and they offered to refunded us for that night with no hot water.

Q- What was the neighborhood like?
A- The neighborhood outside the neighborhood of this apartment, because it is contained in a small neighborhood in itself, is nice and vribant with bustling restaurants and nightclubs and the description is accurate, except there is a huge construction site with cranes, etc., right in front of the apartment building.
