Overall, a disappointing stay that we will never repeat.
We met with Beatrice’s friend who was 20 minutes late. No clear instructions were given and we struggled with unlocking the door. Beware - this is a very old door which requires you to turn the key midway, pull the door tight, finish turning the key before pushing the door open. Also 2 different keys were provided when you only needed 1.
The house is dimmer than advertised in the photos and smells musty. However, Beatrice has provided a dehumidifier in the bedroom.
It is hard to enjoy the house for several glaring reasons:
Air conditioning: There is 1 AC unit and it is not located in the bedroom. There is a fan in the bedroom, but don’t expect to sleep with AC at night.
Wifi strength: Strong only in the living room. Nonexistent in the bedroom if you close the bedroom door.
Bathroom: Stains on bath tub.
Noisy neighbours: We heard intermittent vacuuming sounds all the way till 12.30am. Not an issue if you sleep late or are a heavy sleeper.
Only pro is that the house is situated near a stretch of restaurants and chichetti bars so finding food was never an issue.
