I am writing this review as a very seasoned traveler who is extremely picky about accommodation. I was, therefore, always wary of using air bnb because of others’ less-than-positive experiences especially in regards to how the reality of the place often differed from the photos and description. However, I decided to give it a try with Jorgelina’s Tessitori apartment, and I have nothing but the highest praise regarding my experience—both at this property and with Jorgelina!
First, the apartment is new and very clean—not simply in terms of what you see externally, but internally, and very comprehensively, as well. Starting with how Jorgelina likes to remove her shoes upon entering the apartment (which is also a must for me), to how throughly the bathroom is cleaned and maintained, I was extremely impressed with her standards of cleanliness. As reference, I usually try to find 4/5 star boutique hotels that are newer establishments (bc I am so particular about cleanliness), but Jorgelina’s apartment surpassed them all.
Furthermore, I found the stay very comfortable and convenient. Her apartment is located on a safe street, with great building security. To enter the building and the apartment itself, there is the option of using either your traditional set of keys or a passcode—which was convenient. As others have mentioned, it is close to great bakeries and restaurants in the vicinity. In terms of the apartment itself, it is well ventilated, has a modern heating system (I assume the AC will be just as great in the summer), and invites a lot of light.
Finally, as others have also noted, Jorgelina is a delightful host who was always ready to help, and do whatever she could to make my stay more enjoyable. Communication was always very easy, as her English is excellent, and she is very prompt with her responses. I also had some unforeseeable scheduling changes that arose last minute, and Jorgelina was very willing to accommodate these changes for us as well. I really appreciated her professionalism, as well as her genuine thoughtfulness, understanding, and care throughout!
