The apartment is in a quiet street near the center, with many restaurants within walking distance. We stayed there 5 nights. The apartment itself was fine, but the overall experience was not comfortable. One evening we returned to the apartment and noticed that someone had come in while we were away. We then saw that Andrea had sent a message earlier in the day saying that he needed to come to the apartment to take away a portable folding bed. We had not seen the message or given permission for him to enter in our absence. When we asked about this, he simply said that they knocked on the door and when they didn’t receive any response they decided to come in. It is strange and unprofessional to justify entering a house with “we knocked and didn’t receive a response so we entered”.
In addition to this we found it strange that when you check-in to the apartment the first thing you see is a price list on the table for water, wine, beer and other items which are inside the house (including for an extra set of towels). We realize that this is all optional, but it isn’t very welcoming.
Other things that made the experience less comfortable were finding half eaten food items in the fridge upon check-in, and some basic amenities lacking (e.g. only 2 roles of toilet paper for 2 people staying 5 nights - we had to coordinate with the host to receive more). To be fair though, Andrea was responsive and a pleasant person.
Overall, while the apartment was ok, the experience itself was disappointing.
