Reviews

• Ina from France – 18 August 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely perfectly equipped flat in a privileged position in Verona.
  Francesca met us at the flat and gave us the keys and checkout instructions. She found also a solution to one specific request we’ve addressed her before arrival.
  
  What could be improved: I perfectly understand the importance of prior communication on the arrival time but I personally find the way the I-Home agency handles it is quite peculiar and frustrating. I highly recommend that you read thoroughly all the details since it’s clear that time is money and everything is clearly stated in the rental contract: no online check in…20 euros, late arrival 20 euros and so on…
  And if you don’t indicate the precise arrival time you are likely to wait since other clients are to be handled (in our case it was only about 5 minutes but still it wasn’t pleasant, nothing to do with the person greeting us but with the system.

• Jacobus from Germany – 9 March 2024 (9/10)

  A nice, modern apartment with a good amount of space at an excellent location. With two adults and two kids we even managed to park our pram inside, but then we struggled a bit to find a good place for our largest suitcase. The kitchen had a full set of modern equipment built in.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen provided a bit of coffee and sugar, but it would have been even nicer if it also had some oil, salt and herbs for cooking and some washing tabs for the dish washer. The heating warmed the place to 26C (in February) and somehow we couldn't control it to turn it down a few degrees.

• Sylvia from United States – 10 September 2024 (10/10)

  Communication with the host was excellent. We made sure everything was set at a time and unfortunately, I was running late due to the train and they were very patient and kind. The place was so cute. Loved everything about it. The bed was super comfy and location was excellent. I would definitely come stay here again and recommend to others. Thanks again. 🙋🏻‍♀️
  
  What could be improved: There was nothing that I did not like

• Flavia from Italy – 16 December 2023 (9/10)

  La posizione OTTIMA! E' a 100/200 metri dall' Arena di Verona e quindi si trova proprio al centro.
  Abbiamo avuto grandi problemi con la serratura della porta principale, ma i proprietari di casa si sono mostrati super gentili e pronti a risolvere il problema in poche ore anche essendo un giorno festivo.
  Per scusarsi dell'accaduto e per il disturbo, ci hanno offerto la colazione per il giorno seguente in uno dei bar più belli al centro di Verona.
  
  What could be improved: La cauzione a mio parere dovrebbe essere restituita il giorno seguente aver lasciato l'appartamento e non 7/10 giorni dopo.

• Anna from Italy – 22 October 2023 (8/10)

  La struttura è ben arredata, dotata di confort, molto centrale.
  
  What could be improved: La cauzione di 150 € è eccessiva, valuterò entro quanto tempo mo sarà riaccreditato l'importo, così come eccessivo € 20 per il check in dopo le 20

  La posizione

• Pawel from Poland – 18 September 2024 (8/10)

  Bardzo przyjemny i dość przestronny apartament na parterze w wyremontowanej kamienicy. Zdecydowanym i bardzo dużym plusem jest rewelacyjna lokalizacja. Niemal pod drzwiami kilka świetnych restauracji a do głównego placu i amfiteatru może minuta pieszo. W mieszkaniu czysto, klimatyzacja zarówno w salonie jak i sypialni. Łóżko bardzo wygodne. Wszelkie udogodnienia w kuchni dla lubiących gotować (garnki, patelnie, sitka, przybory kuchenne, toster, expres do kawy etc.) Bardzo ciekawe patio 🙂 dość nietypowe bo zabudowane z każdej strony budynkiem, ale ma to swój urok.
  
  What could be improved: Pobierana z góry kaucja w wysokości 150€ to zdecydowana przesada. Podróżujemy po całym świecie i naprawdę nigdzie nie musieliśmy uiszczać opłaty kaucyjnej. Jest to dla mnie niezrozumiałe. Dodatkowo kaucja zwracana jest nie w dniu lub dzień po wymeldowaniu a dopiero po tygodniu. Uważam, że ta reguła powinna zostać zniesiona.
  "Późne" zameldowanie po godzinie 20:00 wysokości 20€ to kolejne nadużycie i również nie powinna być za to pobierana opłata.

• Faccioli from Italy – 5 August 2024 (8/10)

  posizione ottima per spettacoli all'Arena
  
  What could be improved: mancanza di istruzioni per eventuale uso apparecchi

• Francisco from Portugal – 3 June 2024 (10/10)

  Localização muito boa, muito central. Apartamento muito limpo e muito bem decorado e equipado. Anfitrião muito simpático e atencioso.

• Vito from Italy – 30 July 2024 (5/10)

  Posizione, appartamento carino.
  
  What could be improved: Clausole contratto vessatorie, caparra 150€ per eventuali danni, check in dopo le 20 a pagamento, no pagamento POS(la legge lo imporrebbe), check in online farragginoso, armadio camera letto inutilizzabile perche' completamente occupato da cuscini e coperte)
