Cons:
There were some issues at check in.
The unit is conjoined by a door to another apartment. At about 3 a.m. I got a rather obnoxious banging on my door by my Italian neighbors because they could hear my computer. I had no idea they were even there, and my computer is a Macbook air not capable of making unreasonable volumes.

Mirko is an intense guy. You can see he takes a lot of pride in the listings he has posted, but there are obvious language barriers. A less aggressive more cooperative approach would remediate this. My check in was a bit awkward, as upon arrival there was some confusion regarding payment. He felt he had communicated to me that there was going to be an additional 80 euro charge due to the available unit being "bigger". I explained I paid what I thought was the entire price of the room through Airbnb. He was not pleased with my position, and was a bit aggressive with communicating such, though he decided to honor the rate I paid. I was then asked to sign a rental agreement in Italian, but was given a copy of said agreement in "English". Being I was in Italy working with an International law firm, I take contracts literally, and Mirko again had issues when I pointed out even remedial discrepancies and erroneous verbiage etc. There was no mention of this contract signing on the Airbnb profile.
