The chat with Salvatore worked well; he reached out before we arrived to arrange a taxi and give check‑in details. The accommodation is within walking distance of downtown, many sights and the archaeological museum, and sits next to both underground lines. A direct bus runs from the airport. When we got there the room was far from spotless, showing clear signs of previous guests: hair on the floor, makeup on the sink, a dirty mirror, and long dark hair under the pillows on the clean sheets. The window wouldn’t close properly, so we heard everything outside, including planes taking off and street parties, even though the room faced the courtyard where we could also hear people. The insulation was poor, letting us hear neighbors in the building and anyone coming in and out. The shower floor had stains and slightly moldy corners, and the sink had been leaking for a while, leaving marks on the bathroom floor. The unit is on the 6th floor and each elevator ride costs 20 cents; no free key is provided. The area feels sketchy and dirty, with a shady park in front of the building. The advertised amenities were missing: no coffee or tea was supplied.
