Beware of this property
When I checked in, I was stunned to learn it was a tiny 1 bedroom property, on VRBO it was said to be 2 bedroom. In the bedroom, you had to inch along the bed with your back scraping the wall. There were no instructions on how to use the washer, so not usable. It was incredibly hot, so I handwashed my clothes.
There was a long period, when I checked in, in which I was pressured to decide if I was going to stay there or go to my friends in Arco Felice. I decided to stay for a few days.
I discovered that the walls contained ants and they attack even a drop of overlooked food. I got ant spray the next day and used it every.
I also used it for the termites that pushed through the wall in a swarm. Gennaro or someone parched the hole the next, but that night, several hit me as I was at the table. When I would pull back the cover over the sheets, there were be 2 or 3 termites. They pushed through the tile next to the bed. I coated them with the ant spray or stomped the ones that survived the spray.
Gennaro was mad that I refused to buy him a new cover for the single bed, used as a chair. My small, white Pomeranian. had peed on the bottom of it that touched the floor. He did that the first day we were there. I said he could just wash it, but he was insisted that no one would wash it....I checked with the laundry I used several times and they would have done it, but I assumed he would just use his washer, but he refused. I would have done it, but as I stated before, no directions.
Of course, my asthma was terrible the whole stay, from the termites, even if I used my inhaler. The termites were next to the bed. It got to be that I delayed going to bed until I could make sure I would fall asleep immediately.
Gennaro did act as a conduit to messages with relatives, until I got a telephone that worked in Italy (it was $35 for 250 minutes and a phone AND a passport and stub from flight).
Gennaro said dogs were not allowed in the apartment, but the VRBO site said "pets welcomed". I mentioned in e-mails that Jimbeau was coming with me. Gennero said it was a good idea not to come with guests, as it was a small site. I was going to have friends come for a visit in the non-existant second bedroom.
When I returned, Gennaro e-mailed my daughter and indicated I broke a lamp. I was in the apartment when the 2 cleaners had cleaned the room and didn't mention it.
I would never suggest this is a property in which to consider staying.
