The host was very responsive leading up to, during and after the the stay. She provided many details about how to get to the property, get into the property and how to use the dining credit. Getting into the property itself was tricky. I was traveling late; the gate did not work. The code did not work. We facetimed and I had to show her the building I was at for her to buzz me into the building. These were security measures for herself, her building, and also me. Being at another airbnb in Italy, the owner met us and walked us to the property. This owner stayed in a noisy dining area where it was diffiicult to hear and understand her directives. The room itself was clean and tidy. I did contact ******* to try and cancel my reservation, however the host would not agree and wanted to charge a cancellation fee (the price of the room) on top of what I had already been charged; I stayed for the night albeit against my choosing.
