I usually book entire places instead of rooms in someone's home however this time I tried it.
Alessandra was the perfect host, and I don't regret I tried it at all! She is very warm and welcoming. I didn't feel as though I was staying in a stranger's home. Her responses were quick and professional and she was always easy to contact.
In terms of the place, it felt
much more private than I thought it would. There is a walk way that leads to the bedroom which I believe added to that feeling of privacy, and the private bathroom also was much appreciated. It has a very rustic feel, which I appreciated.
The place is located in the heart of the city, so it was very convenient.
While there the neighbour did start playing loud music, however I wasn't bothered by it at all. It seemed to have added to the vibrancy and authenticity of the city. I'd recommend ten times over, and if giving 10 stars was possible, I'd do that too. She made my trip so much more enjoyable.
