Firstly, let me say that the apartment is very beautifully decorated and exquisitely clean. The bathroom and kitchen are updated and gorgeous. The neighborhood is super cute and nice and safe for strolling around. Check in was easy with the keyless entry. The linens and towels are new and clean.
Unfortunately, the photos are slightly misleading. The couch in the photo is not the couch in the apartment. I realize this sounds SUPER petty, but bear with me. The elegant, blue velvet couch in the photos has been replaced with an old, tattered couch that is in very poor condition. It slumps in the middle and it is beyond impossible to get comfortable sitting on it. Because it slopes in the center, you can’t sit on one side without rolling inward, and the back rest is so far back and low (and the seat cushions angle backwards), therefore you cannot sit with your back against the back rest without your legs sticking straight out. It really is impossible to sit on. Also, the material is so pilled and worn that it is unpleasant against bare skin. I know this sounds silly, but I admit that one of the things that attracted me to this Airbnb was the beautiful, structured, soft looking velvet couch in the photos (I’ve always wanted one like it).
I’ll also mention that Rossana is a great, responsive host. The walls are a bit thin and I had to listen to around 4 hours of blaring bass and screaming from the neighbors next door. I was being patient but because I was trying to work I finally sent Rossana a quick message to ask if she knew the neighbor and could ask them to lower the music a little and within 5 minutes she had contacted the neighbor and the music was turned down. She was absolutely amazing.
So really my only gripe (be it a small one) was with the couch. Otherwise the apartment was great.
