Beware of insane payment requests after your stay. This is a difficult review to write as it is my first negative one. Our stay was good, Massimo was very friendly, responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The apartment location is great, and it is very nicely decorated. Minor issues are that the bathroom is really small, there is only a towel heater in the bathroom, and little sunlight. None of these should discourage anyone to stay there.
The big surprise came after we left. Suddenly there was a request for £154 for "structural damage" because something was sticking to the wall that required complete replastering and special cleaning. We pre-cleaned the flat before we left. We removed the old bedding, put all towels together, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom sink, the toilet, mopped the bathroom floor and also de-iced the freezer (save energy!). This all was mainly because he allowed us to check out later. When we came back to pick up our luggages, he was quite stressed. It seems he forgot that he had ordered a shower cabin to replace the shower curtain, and he also did not coordinate with the cleaner who had already left. He seemed pretty stressed (he also had his two children with him). I offered to help, but he declined. He had already been in the flat for an hour, and no mention of any structural damage.
It feels like that he regretted to let us check out late and looked for a way of getting back to us. There was no communication about this beforehand, I simply got slapped with a notice from Airbnb that he claims 200 Euros damages. I denied the charges, and so far (10 days after), nothing else came. Which feels like he was upset but calmed down. Shame to have such an end to an otherwise really nice stay.
