The stay at Valerie’s place was not enjoyable for a few reasons.
Valerie was not there for check in. We were messaged by Matt and were told to pick up keys from a fruit/ alcohol/ tobacconist shop. We picked up the keys and they did not work. There was a mix up with the keys with us and another couple. Luckily, Matt came to meet us and sort out the issue, so we thank him for that. We ended up late at night having to go back to the shop and argue with the shop attendant who would not believe us. It was stressful as we don’t speak Italian and it wasn’t the safest area. Valeria did also not reply to our messages for help regarding the parking and the keys issue.
When we got to our apartment, it was small but clean. However, we wanted to have a drink after the ordeal with the keys, and there is only one glass cup, no wine glasses and small disposable plastic cups.
Then, we were only given 1 towel for the two of us for 2 nights. We looked for towels in the cupboard but all we found were 2 lace g strings… weird.
This was also the noisiest apartment I have ever stayed in. The room is right next to the complex main door and lift and all throughout the morning from 5 am it bangs so loudly it feels as though someone is coming into your room. I would not recommend. Maybe have a drop box for the keys somewhere.
