The apartment is nice, well situated. Well-furnished. However, the washing-machine’s lid is tricky to close in such a way that allows one to turn it on. I was told previous guests also had had problems managing to find the right way to close it. That washing machine should be replaced.
When I didn’t manage to close it, I wrote Heather to send someone to take a look at it, and told her I’d be in the apartment from 2pm pm onwards. I got back to the apartment at 1h35pm, and a guy who identified himself as the manager of apartments of the building told me he had already made the washing machine work. I told him he should have come when I was there. He replied he hadn`t stolen anything. The point is not just not stealing, the point is that my notebook was not locked, my email account was open, and I had working papers that he could have seen if he wanted. He probably just fixed the issue and went away.
I complained about this to Heather and she apologized. I’ve accepted her apologies. Next time I’ll be more specific: “Please send your handy man after I have arrived at the apartment”., instead of just saying “I’ll be in the apartment from 2pm pm onwards.”. I thought that had been clear enough. If I mentioned this, it’s because it mattered to me. If it weren’t not clear enough, Heather should have asked.
The funny or weird thing is that the next day when I returned to the apartment around
noon after going out, the Italian guy who had entered my apartment while I was not there, was standing with his arms crossed and I had the clear impression he was staring at me. Did he want to scare me and prevent me from writing a bad review?
