My mom and I had to cancel our reservation after one night because of a few reasons.
1. Please note: there is no elevator, so if you have large or heavy luggage you should expect to carry your items up 5 full flights of stairs.
2. There was an odor in the apartment that was trying to be masked by a lot of air fresheners, which only made it worse.
3. The bathroom did not have any shampoo or body wash or bar soap, and the floors/corners were either dirty or moldy, either way it was a little unsettling.
I have never stayed in an Airbnb in Italy so maybe this is normal, but this was the first time I have ever needed to meet a host in order to check in/get the keys, and it was a bit of a disaster. We waited for about an hour after arriving in town, so if you do have to wait to check in, I’d recommend heading to the public garden down the street, which happened to be beautiful.
The terrace is absolutely lovely and the view is spectacular. Chiara and Lucia were friendly and offered many recommendations, but unfortunately the apartment itself was just not a place we felt comfortable staying in for multiple nights.
