This AirBnB is excellent - It only got a 4 because of issues that need attention, and once done will clearly get a 5.
The Hosts- Exceptionally good. They met us at the door when we arrived, got us acquainted with the apartment, and its amenities — My wife had a message exchange and they returned once to deal with an issue ( see below)
They are great hosts. We possibly requested more than other guests at the beginning, but probably not a lot more.
The Apartment- As described in the posting- the photo’s are very adequate and the below level patio was very pleasant-especially at breakfast . The only drawback is there is no WiFi on the patio. However, we used it for drying clothes and that worked well.
The apartment is spacious, exceptionally clean, and well stocked, with coffee, teas, breakfast buns, and many other items.
The location- It is truly perfect. About a 10- 15 minute walk to the central station, old town, the promenade along the water, beaches and most of the churches , etc.
Daily shopping - is within a 5 minute walk - green grocer, many supermarkets at varying levels of quality and price, bakeries, pharmacies, and on and on. There is also an indoor market that has fish and meat and veggies etc and it is about a 10 minute walk.
There are 3 issues that the hosts are aware of and are in the process of getting them taken care of. The shower- built for a 70Kg (150 lbs) person. My wife is about 75 Kg and I am about 20 Kg more. Getting in and out of the shower is a magical game. We learned to do it, and laughed after every shower, but it is something that needs attention. The 2nd issue is an odor coming from the pipes, that is most unpleasant. We sort of controlled it with candles, boiling cinnamon, and ventilation-but an issue. Again, Luca and Antonella are aware of it and indicated that they were having it repaired. The 3rd issue is more limited in its consequences— The kitchen works well to prepare breakfast or a sandwich, but preparing a full meal needs good kitchen skills -There is only 1 burner — so one pot at a time. As a result we ate out more than we planned, but it was necessary.
Would I return, yes, once the Odor and the Shower issues are dealt with.
As I said, great hosts, fantastic location and a very comfortable apartment.
