Let me start off by saying that I’m not a frequent user of Airbnb. As a consumer, I should have been more aware of the cancellation policy and the fact that the specific address is not given until you book. With that being said, I was very disappointed in the accommodation for a variety of reasons. When I first corresponded with the host I was very clear in stating that I wanted something within a 20 minute walking distance to the Duomo. She told me it was a 20 minute walk. It is not. It is a 50 minute walk. Even though google maps lists it as a 3 K distance, I assure you it is not. I am a runner, I’m very fit, and it was a difficult walk to make a couple of times a day when the temperature hovers around 95 degrees. That was the main reason that I cancelled my stay. In addition, there is a musty smell, which I had a difficult time with. I’ve been to Italy many times and I’m aware of their terrible bedsheets and towels, but when you rent an accommodation you should upgrade your linens. There is an outdoor space, but it is overlooked by a gigantic apartment complex and I did not feel comfortable using it. There is no air conditioner, which I was not bothered by, but I am covered in mosquito bites after a few days. Maria was pleasant until I told her that I wanted to cancel. Luckily I was able to find another accommodation. It is up to the standards that I would expect. I received a small refund, but basically lost about $700.00, which I am pursuing with Airbnb.
