LE GEMME DI PERUGIA - alloggi in centro storico - VIA DELLA CUPA / VIA DELLA LUNA

We now have a memorable and crazy story to tell from our trip to Perugia (see below).

IT'S A SCAM. The host claimed my credit card was invalid (it wasn't; I used it throughout the day) and asked us to pay in cash. After we dropped off our luggage, the host cancelled on Bookings.com and wrote/called several times on WhatsApp to ask if we left the cash payment yet. We confirmed we got cash from an ATM and would leave it in the apartment once we got back from dinner. However, we were locked out of the apartment when we returned. The code no longer unlocked the door. Someone turned on a light inside the apartment but didn't answer the door, and the host didn't answer our calls or messages for an hour. We called the police and the fire department and informed "the other guest" through the door that the police were coming. Only then did the host call us back, saying we didn't have a right to enter the apartment and retrieve our belongings because we didn't pay yet. When the firemen and police arrived, the host refused to grant them permission to break down the door so we could retrieve our belongings unless we transferred money by IBAN. The police asked the host to come to the apartment to sort this out, and the host refused because she claimed she was in Spoleto. The host confirmed that there was another guest inside the apartment after arguing with the police for an hour, and the guest (who had a very similar voice to the host) said she couldn't open the door from the inside. The police said they would have to break down the door because they could not leave someone trapped inside in case of an emergency. Only then, three hours later at 4AM, did the host give us instructions to manually unlock the door using a key in a safe box bolted to the door. We still paid 103€ for this hellish experience under the suggestion of the police, but at least none of our belongings were stolen.

Minacce e obbligo a dare cash ! Atteggiamento intimidatorio approfittando del pieno per la marcia della pace.

Locatia

Întunericul din cameră

Posizione ottimale. A due passi dal Centro.

L'alloggio era per 4 persone. Nella camera da letto vi era oltre al letto matrimoniale un letto. Il quarto letto era ricavabile da un divano letto posto in una posizione piuttosto angusta tra un tavolino e angolo cottura intralciando il passaggio delle persone. Inoltre a disposizione 2 rotoli di carta per 4 persone per 2 giorni e mezzo. Alla richiesta di qualche altro rotolo è stato comunicato che doveva comprarla il cliente. Questa la prassi.

Great location. Close to Cattedrale & shops & restaurants Kitchen facilities. I cooked quite a lot The moka pot

Posizione assolutamente strategica per visitare il centro città.

La camera dove ho alloggiato era piccola per 2 persone. Secondo letto a estrazione sotto il primo ed uniti occupano la metà della stanza. Servizi igienici comodi ma non li ho trovati pulitissimi.
