The Public Service Announcement:
So I want to clarify that this is primarily on me because I didn’t pay close enough attention when I booked, and I’m leaving this here so others don’t make the same mistake as me: Be aware that the BnB doesn’t have AC, and so if you’re staying there in the summer, it can be incredibly miserable. It never dropped below 83 degrees Fahrenheit at night in our room, even with the fan on full blast. We literally didn’t sleep. I’ve lived in European apartments before without AC and usually if you open the windows, the room is cool enough and pleasant, even in high temps. I’m not sure what was going on here, but nothing we tried worked to cool the room down.
The Genuine Positives:
Salvo was a good host. Responsive, provided information about the city, and even let us drop our luggage off prior to check in, which was super nice. The bed was really comfortable and the tv was waaaayyy nicer than the one we have at home. We didn’t mind sharing the bathroom and kitchen with another guest because we still felt like we had our privacy, so don’t let that bother you or hold you back. The neighborhood was awesome and away from all the tourists, so you weren’t surrounded by annoying people, and it had great restaurants and cute cafes. It was quiet at night, and we never felt unsafe. If it wasn’t for the heat stroke at night, I’d have never wanted to leave.
