Gabriele was an excellent host and very attentive. The position was excellent, too, with easy walks to most of the usual tourist spots. Apartment was very clean but the laundry was cluttered with all sorts of cleaning paraphernalia.Curiously, there was a washing machine but no dryer, so clothes had to be hung on an extendible clothesline indoors, leading to long drying times. The tiny kitchen had no griller, oven or even a toaster and the kettle was full of calcium deposits that got into the coffee. Splashbacks in the kitchen and bathroom were not tiled, leading to splatters and dirty walls, especially in the kitchen. Is this typical for Europe/Italy?The bedroom was good with a very comfortable mattress. So a few upgrades needed to make it into a much more attractive proposition.
