I stayed at Giovanni's place for several nights. It is incorrectly listed as a three bedroom apartment whereas in the description it describes itself as a one bed. This is clearly inconsistent and should be corrected. I filtered AirBnB for 2 beds and 2 separate bedrooms and so i assumed what the search turned up was correct. The apartment is in fact a 1 bed apartment with two pull-out sofa beds -- on in the sitting room and one in the conservatory-like area near the terrace.
Also, there is only 1 bathroom that you have enter by going through the bedroom. There is a toilet on the second floor but it's mostly a small room for washing clothes and definitely not for bathing. It's a small utility room.
The view over the piazza is great. It's definitely the main thing the apartment has going for it.
The furniture is a bit tired and the apartment could do with some TLC. For example, the table on the terrace is rusting. Also, there is what looks like water damage on the wall in the bedroom.
My main quibble was the interaction with the host. When we arrived 10PM, there was only one bed made up, even though we had said we would be two friends. I then had to make up the bed myself. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice not to have had to do this. Then things go a bit surreal. We were told we had to replace the bottled water that was in the fridge. There was no bottled water in the fridge, and when i pointed that out and that we would not be replacing it, he said to take it from a nearby wine bar. We weren't too needy for water so we didn't bother. However, when we left, he complained that there was no water in the fridge. It seems like he wants the guests to pass in the apartment in a state for the next client so that no cleaning whatsoever is required.
He also wanted us to remove the bins without giving us any indication where we should place them. The amount of waste was minimal since we didn't prepare any food in the apartment and merely ate a few croissants. We also washed any plates or cutlery we used. The rubbish was neatly collected in a bag ready for the cleaner to take down. I don't think this should be the burden of the guest necessarily, nor should replacing water.
We are also accused of leaving lights on in the common area when in fact we had used our torch lights on our phones. It's better to ask the guest politely than write "please switch off the light of the stairs, in not automatic.. In the notes it is explained what to do. A very angry condominium called me."
Even when we left he complained the washing machine was on, when in fact it was plugged in and a red light showing. When i pointed out how clean we left the place, he replied with "the point is not what you should have done , but what you didn't do." For this reason we would not stay there again.
