PROs:Andrea was very responsive. He answered all our messages within a 24 hour period. Tried to be welcoming and explained the rules of the home carefully. The appartment is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Has a supermarket close by (3min walk). The Kitchen is nice and spacious, I cooked most of the time. Has a heater and airconditining. 25 min walk to the ferrovia. Owner emailed me a map easy to get to.
CONs:
I really disliked upon my arrival to find the shower to be filthy, covered in mildew and limescale. I contacted the owner and he sent a cleanin lady the following day. A few days later by accident I dropped something and there was a drip of old dried feces on the side of the toilet(I assume its feces because it was crusty and brown.)After I reached out to the owner this was his message:
"Do you think it's old dirty?
The cleaning lady came 3 times (2 before your arrival and 1 time a few days ago)....You have tried to clean? is old dirty?"
I really disliked that host asked for us to clean this, because we paid a lot of money to be in a clean comfortable place.
Also several of the Kitchen ware was sticky or greasy. We had to buy dish soap (host did not offer soap) and wash everything before using. The washing machine had black mold and when I asked the host about this he said it was ok.
I thought this place has lots of potential but it fell short because the shower, toilet, kitchenware and washing machine was dirty. I was disappointed and thought it was very expensive for the quality of cleanliness/service we received.
