The rented property is fully furnished provided with household appliances, crockery, kitchen equipment and change of linen. The Property is in a perfect and functioning condition and must be in the same condition on CHECK OUT. We expect all clients to treat the rented property as if it was their own home and leave the Property in good order for CHECK OUT.
If on the Check OUT the Property is found to be extremely dirty or untidy then a final extra cleaning fee may be applied. The Florentapartments S.R.L (here named as the "Company") may replace the Property with another of identical or superior quality for causes of force majeure or for any circumstances beyond its control, should the Company be unable to guarantee the Client use of the Property. If the Client has reasonable and substantiated cause for refusing the Property offered by way of replacement, the Company will refund the Client the entire amount paid. No further amounts of whatsoever nature shall be due by the Company to the Client.
