I would like to point out that I was very satisfied in all aspects of the hospitality received (service quality). However, I must honestly acknowledge a couple of issues, of which I was fully aware and therefore cannot affect my overall evaluation. The first is that the B&B rooms are located on the second floor, without an elevator, so the Abacus is certainly not suitable for guests of a certain age or with even minimal motor or cardiovascular problems. The second concerns exclusively the Glauco room where I stayed, which is equipped to accommodate only one person and has a single small window placed very high, difficult to open and close if you are not at least 1 meter and 75 centimeters tall, but above all, even if open, it does not guarantee an optimal air exchange intended as a comfortable microclimate. In fact, besides its positioning and size, it is protected by a net and a grate that prevent leaning out. The microclimate issue forced me to use the air conditioner continuously at night (which I would have gladly done without), while for the rest of the day my presence in the Glauco room was minimal; it is certainly not advisable for those who would consider a more continuous use. I reiterate that this last issue identified is related exclusively to the only room (Glauco) I used and that the other rooms, from what I saw in the photos and from the outside, have regular windows and maybe even balconies. Based on my experience and my needs, the stay was very positive and, with the same characteristics as my stay in Reggio Calabria, it will be a pleasure to return to the Abacus and meet its owner Franco.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Gianluca per l'onesta disamina ma purtroppo le criticità da Lei evidenziate non sono modificabili, come la finestra alta e l'ascensore.
Per quanto possibile, ho cercato di rendere più comoda la camera, inserendo un letto matrimoniale alla francese che, ancorchè riduca ulteriormente gli spazi, offre un riposo molto confortevole. Mi piace che comunque Lei abbia riconosciuto che era consapevole della Sua scelta avendo visto le foto sul sito, peraltro vecchie e raffiguranti un lettino e non il matrimoniale e senza boiserie da me realizzata dopo. In buona sostanza Lei ha visto una camera che, a differenza di come spesso avviene, era meglio di come se l'aspettava, pur avendo tutti i limiti che Lei, ripeto, onestamente, ha evidenziato. Sarà un piacere per me, rivederLa ancora.
