I will mention the positives first, as there were a number of good things. However, the listing COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTS what you are getting, and I will describe this at the end.
Francesco’s place was right in the heart of the old city, next to the Duomo. The location was great and the place was spotlessly clean. We had a bedroom with one bed that slept two people. There were nightstands, a desk, and a closet. Everything was very new. Towels, sheets, etc. smelled great. The eating area had a nice beverage machine, snacks, and a small fridge; there was no sink in the eating area, however, and this meant that anything that needed to be washed had to be washed in the bathroom sink. The listing also says that you can cook; this is a misrepresentation due to the LACK of both a sink and a stove/oven.
They were cute little balconies in the eating area and the bedroom.
We had one EXTREMELY MAJOR PROBLEM with this listing, and that was the fact that the listing said we were getting two bedrooms and two bathrooms – – – and we literally got half of that. It is VERY VERY MISLEADING. The listing reads: “Entire residential home. 2 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths.” The price that is listed is the price we paid. We were two guests, which I indicated on our booking, and we paid the full price, but we got ONE bedroom and ONE bath. The minute we arrived and saw this, we were extremely upset; we are not a couple and specifically booked this for the listed TWO bedrooms. I texted the host right away and said that we had booked two bedrooms; the response was that we had to tell them that. We BOOKED it because it is WHAT THE LISTING SAYS YOU GET FOR THAT PRICE! We were very angry to get HALF of what the listing promised and we feel that we were lied to. This is false advertising on the part of the host!!
