I’d like to give Gianmatteo and his place in The Mission an exceedingly favorable review, but I’m not able to do so for a few reasons. While aspects of my stay like communication, check-in, and location were smooth and appreciated, there were other aspects including cleanliness, listing accuracy, and other guests that left a lot to be desired, especially considering the cost of my stay. The tables, chair, and bedframe were covered in a film of dirt and there were a handful of mosquitoes — some that sucesssfully removed — that left me with bug bites. The windows were paper-thin, permitting a ton of sound from cars and ambulances on the busy street below, and the window shades only cover 75% of the frames, allowing in a ton of sun and street light from the lamps just outside the window. It was expected that there could be other roommates but it was never clear how many or how long they would be there. The ones that were there at the same time as me were disruptive, too. Most damning: either one of these guests, or the host himself, had sex in a bedroom where the bed was up against a wall that my room shared, causing my bed to move as I was trying to sleep after a long day of work. Good for them, I suppose, but this isn’t something I signed up for.
