Hannah's basement apartment is clean, and the recessed lighting brightens up the place, especially when there's some directly sunlight in the afternoons. It's a little sparsely furnished - no area rugs, no curtains, minimal furniture - so not as cozy as other places I've staying in. It was quite chilly in the evening so a blanket or throw for the sofa would have been a nice touch. Access to a washing machine was good, though it takes a while to dry clothes on the drying rack.
We would have had a pleasant stay for the week, had there not been an unfortunate incident in which the host's father entered the apartment while we were asleep. We were jet-lagged and sleeping in when I was woken at 9am by the shocking realization that a man was in the apartment. I sat bolt upright, heard him call out again and quickly grabbed something to wear over my underwear and opened the bedroom door. There he was, a stranger to me, standing in the entrance stairwell. He explained he needed to check the bathroom taps and had assumed we were not there. Regardless, I was taken by complete surprise, and have made a point to deadlock the front door from the inside at the Verona Airbnb we are currently staying in. The host should have notified us that maintenance work was needed, and requested entry.
