Attico di charme

We stayed in the apartment during the last week of July, when there was quite an extreme heat wave going on in Verona. The aparment is located close to the railway station and about 15 minute walk from the old town, which was perfect for us. If everything would’ve gone as planned, our stay would have probably been perfect, but this time there were just too many issues.

During our stay we faced a few issues. 1. The AC in the bedroom did not work, so we were unable to sleep there. Instead we had to sleep in the sofa bed, which was far from comfortable and negatively affected our readiness for the few days we were in Italy. We understand that things may break down and it might take some time to fix them, but still, it was a huge annoyance. 2. The apartment was not cleaned when we arrived. In the end, this did not really matter to us as we were about to head to the old town anyways. Apparently there was some miscommunication between the owner and the cleanup company and they thought the guests were going to change the next day. The cleaning was done while we were away, so no points really lost there. Had we arrived late in the evening, this would have been quite a serious issue. 3. There were no trash bags in the apartment (after cleanup) so we went and bought a roll ourselves 4. The apartment had no shower gel or shampoo, so prepare to get some. 5. Elevator only worked when we arrived. After that it was walking up and down 5 floors. We’re athletic, so did not really bother us and was in no way the fault of the aparment owner.
