Pietro's apartment was good.
Firstly, the location was excellent. 5 minutes away from supermarket, bus stop and Via Etnea ( main shopping street). 10 minutes from Piazza Duomo and fish market. Outside was quiet, next to the university.
The apartment was accurate to the photographs, which was good so we got what was expected.
The apartment had a good balcony with darts board for recreation, and the property had everything needed for self sufficiency and living.
Cleanliness came as an issue when utensils were sticky and we had to wash everything. However, in the scheme of things, this was a minor issue and easily resolved. The rest of the apartment was clean.
The bed was a sofa bed, which was comfortable. There was a slight creak every time I moved but again this was minor.
Pietro provided mosquito prevention in the form of plug ins and sprays.
The air conditioning worked perfectly.
The bathroom was good and had everything needed. We ran out of toilet roll and the hot water was temperamental but everything did work.
I know you can't choose neighbours, but if you don't like dogs/barking, there are three noisy dogs next door that react to the door opening and loud noises. I repeat this is no fault of Pietro.
Despite little issues, the apartment was good, very spacious and in working condition.
Pietro as a host was fantastic. He was warm, welcoming and friendly. Spending almost 30 minutes showing us round and giving us a comprehensive guide to city in the form of eating, sightseeing and tours. We felt confident and well informed in Pietro. He was also very rapid in responding to messages and giving us guidance to reach the apartment.
Grazie Mille Pietro! Hope to see you soon.
