Roberta's apartment is nice and fully equipped for a short stay. Roberta welcomed us with a nice, cold homemade ice tea. Throughout the rest of the stay, she stayed in contact through cell phone/ whatsapp and gave many valuable tips for restaurants and sight seeing. We are very grateful that she indicated us a nice, small Marrocan restaurant which we liked so much that we returned there twice.
One thing that should be pointed out is that the listed apartment is not entirely independent. The listed apartment shares the same access door with Robertas apartment. However, there is a second, separate door to the listed apartment. Perhaps given this proximity, privacy might become an issue. We were surprised that Roberta informed us through text message that she had entered the apartment rented to us in our absence in order to close the umbrella on the terrace (the day was quite windy), without prior notice or seeking our consent. While we understand her worry about the umbrella, we believe that this could have been communicated and handled in a better way. We would have preferred that she made contact through message or phone call in order to seek our consent to go into the apartment or to clarify, in the first place, if we had closed the umbrella before leaving, instead of just "going in" when we were not there. This behavior was especially odd considering that we had exchanged text messages the same morning, when the wind was already an issue, but she did not say anything.
Unfortunately, the intervention was also not limited to the closure of the umbrella. We found some of our personal items (clothes, shoes) rearranged or taken to a different room. Also my friend's filters (for rolling cigarettes) were thrown away. We had to retrieve them from the garbage. These incursions into our privacy left a somewhat bitter taste in a stay that would have been perfect otherwise. We hope that Roberta can take our feedback and limit her intrusions into the rented spaces to absolute emergencies and otherwise actively seek consent from the guests before doing so.
