I can’t recommend this apartment as beautiful as it is. I have never given a bad review on Air BnB. This bums me out.
First of all, I am concerned about the safety of the structure. The building next door is only a facade. As I understand it, these ancient buildings support one another. Only some rotting timbers from the structure nextdoor remain. There is no metal girders holding the exterior walls in place.
As per previous reviews as far back as March:
both toilets are broken with no flushing mechanism.
10 pounds of pigeon guano piled in-front of the laundry machine. (Lovely stay says they need permission from the building to clean it which makes no sense-it’s literally on a balcony on the kitchen. A small shovel and dustpan would do the job)
Lovely stay obviously never sent anyone to fix the toilets or the pigeon hygiene issue right next to the kitchen.
The mattresses are horrible with springs sticking out and sagging.
There are not proper linens on the mattresses. Only a flat sheet over the mattress. (disgusting)
The showers are super crusty with missing grout and stains.
Lovely Stay didn’t meet us at the apartment and made us pick up keys from the Lovely Stay office.
It’s a shame because I think the management company is to blame for these maintenance issues, as it is obvious from previous reviews that they were aware of the problems and have not remedied them. I feel bad for the home owner who obviously has very good style.
Don’t count on the toilets being repaired or the pigeon poop being cleaned up. I made that mistake.
Best of Luck.
