Unfortunately I would have to say this is was the worst Airbnb experience I’ve had. Whilst the images show a nice apartment, it was extremely dirty and unhygienic and not acceptable standard to be booked.
The toilet ran the whole night with faulty plumbing, the shower was so thick with limescale that the door could not close and the sheets looked questionable as to whether they had been washed/changed from the previous guests. There was a half used cake of soap left in the bathroom to wash your hands and the bathroom had a strong smell of urine.
There were numerous signs in the apartment saying “Follow the rules!! One of which was to take out your rubbish. However you would assume that it would be okay to leave some rubbish (in the bin of course) when paying somewhere to stay. Also – how on earth is a guest meant to know where to dispose of this!
Check out was at 10am and when we left there was another man waiting out the front of the door waiting for us to leave. When we ‘checked in’ we asked if we could leave our bags anywhere the next day as we weren’t leaving until later at night, however this was a definite no and told we could take our bags to the Centrale Station. We did this, however this was a decent hike from the accommodation in the hot sun and took up a good chunk of time to do so – however this also ended up costing us an additional 18euro to store 2 bags for the day! An additional costs to keep in mind.
There was only one wine glass in the kitchen, so couldn’t enjoy the balcony with a nice drink with your partner if you wanted to. No map or any local info or recommendations provided – all the things you want when staying in a local’s home! Leo sent a basic text message with three restaurants close by, however overall felt as though the welcome was very cold and procedural. Nothing like what else I have experienced in beautiful Italy. Was an unpleasant experience to end our trip with.
