The best measure of a successful AirBnB stay is the number of times communication with the host is necessary during the stay. I am happy to say that the only communication we had was simply a question about something we were curious about.
The pre check-in communication from Sara and Matteo was truly spectacular. Clear instructions were given regarding every aspect of locating, entering and staying in the apartment. Providing photos to assist in locating the entrance was genius!
Regarding the apartment: It was clean, comfortable, bright and airy, and contained everything we needed for a lovely stay. The furniture and appliances and decor were new and in pristine condition. Whoever designed the space must be an interior decorator. The location is right in the middle of Via SME and convenient to everything, including numerous cafes and restaurants, and of course, many gelateria. However, since the building is set back from the street there was complete privacy and quiet.
Thank you Sara and Matteo.
PS. I must mention, not as a complaint but rather for the benefit of future guests, that a climb of 67 steps is required to reach the apartment. The location on the top floor was indeed disclosed in the listing, but this adds a bit of detail for those who may have difficulty.
La Dependance is highly recommended! Ciao.
