This review is for Altido Rental Company, bc I don't think the owner is who I ever spoke with. It was several different workers that communicated with me. They were mostly friendly except when I didn't want to give them my full name, birthdate, copies of my and my husband's passports and identifications. I sent them a copy of airbnb policy to never give out this personal info or communicate outside of airbnb, and they said they have a right to know who is staying in the home. No hotel asks for copies of your passport. Finally, they accepted just my name, d.o.b, and country of citizenship. Which is still too much, but we needed a place stay and they ask for this only 48 hrs before check in on their own different website.
The flat is in a GREAT location. It is very old and somewhat dirty (the floors, walls, curtains, furniture). The linens were white clean and beds comfortable. There are lots of stairs to climb up to the flat with no light in the stairwell. So at night it's very dark. The photos for the place make it look very nice new, but it is very old and furnishings very old. Lots of stains on arm chairs in living room. Has nice TV and Netflix. Washing machine for clothes. No paper towels in kitchen.
Overall, great location, but didn't feel as secure as renting from an owner, would not do it again. I don't think a company should ask for info from renters that goes against the airbnb policy when the company is using the airbnb platform.
