I am sad to say that from start to finish the experience of staying at this accommodation fell far below expectation. This is the first time on Airbnb I have ever felt the need to leave a negative review.
The specific room booked was unavailable and the replacement was small, dark and very tired looking. When I asked we were given a slightly better room but it was nothing like the room advertised and a lower quality. There was no toilet paper and as there was no one at the accommodation we got a text to say we had to go and take it from another room.
Their check-in process is overly automated and made everything impersonal. I called to ask questions and they answered but then hung up and texted me a standard information message. The €5 breakfast was awful and left in the room the day before so far from fresh. We actually returned it and didn’t pay for it. And overall the room was not particularly clean. They clearly have not seen at the thick layer of dust on top of your wardrobe to see when last a cleaner cleaned it!! Never!
The room was cheap and the location was good (although all parking was paid and not close by - if you find a space). I guess you get what you pay for. I will definitely pay more to stay elsewhere in my next visit to Lecce which is a beautiful city and well worth visiting. Just don’t stay with this host unless you can’t afford anything else!
