We do not recommend.
We tried to wipe the slate clean, but the host gave us a hard time. We had a bad experience despite being tactful and tried to find some common ground.
From day 1 the host make us feel uncomfortable and treated us like liars, which is pretty aggressive from someone who's been wrong in so many ways.
First we had a problem with the shower and it’s lack of pressure. We couldn’t shower for 2 days. We realized only the first night and reported it the next day, because we didn’t want to bother the host. But he didn’t bother to fix it only during the last day of our stay.
This is when it started going worse. When we reported the problem about the lack of pressure, one of the first thing he said was that the other people didn’t had this problem following with a message with this -> « 🤔🤔🤔 ? » (who presume this fast that his guests are making it up ? Why being rude when we were only reporting a fact ? It's also unprofessional)
Because we spent most of our day visiting Bari, we thought we were with other people like he said, to only realized we were alone the whole time !!
The day we left, we met someone who actually rent a room the whole year in the apartment arriving. So… why ?
When we finally get to shower, we discovered that of one the towel was stained with blood…..
The icing on the cake ? The kitchen in the pictures is completely different from the reality. It’s way older and dirty. The dishes weren’t that clean and the sponge was dirty. We asked for a new sponge and he gave us just a less used one (?!) claiming it’s new.
For all those reasons, we believed a small compensation would be fair. So we wrote him and send photos to prove what we are saying. (We don’t understand why he didn’t look at them).
He only kept saying that we are making it up, and being rude to us by diminishing our experience saying that most of the complains are not « real issues ».
In time of Covid, providing unhygienic items, is irresponsible and dangerous.
He also asked us why we didn’t tell him about the stained towel. I mean….
First we were surprised, and because its was the last day (quite late) there were nothing to do. Plus, the host hadn’t been nice to us, so we just gave up, and wanted this exhausting journey to end.
I have been myself a host. And believe it or not, but I dont’t wait for my guest to tell me that my house is unclean, my shower dysfunctional and my towel stained with blood (I mean blood !!) to do a good job.
It’s the fundamentals.
