I stayed at Ale’s apartment for 14 days. The apartment is cosy and conveniently located and had the key amenities required for a comfortable stay.
However, I have rated the stay itself as 2 star mostly because of the attitude of the host and the flat not being provided in a clean condition , despite a professional cleaning fee being charged. I escalated an issue with a broken chair (not that I was expecting a fix but more of concern that a guest may injure himself!) but I was greeted with “ this is not a five star hotel & if you don’t like get out of my place” attitude.
In my view hosting should not be just a transaction. I was also not aware Ale does not live in Australia and there were some delays in responding to my queries such as where and how to check in.
