Giulia's place was not what we expected. The location is great, as it's right around the corner from Roma Monte Mario train station. However, the house is actually a renovated garage, located underneath (or right next to) a gym that holds dance classes all day and night, so it is extremely loud. When we arrived, we discovered that the apartment appeared to have not been cleaned in quite some time.
There was dust and pet hair all over the place (we are both very allergic to pet hair), the linens had stains and pet hair on them and we woke up with bug bites, the toilet had menstrual blood in it and was filthy so we cleaned it (with the brush that was there that was broken), the dishes in the kitchen were dirty and there wasn't salt or olive oil or garbage bags.
We could not figure out how to turn the sofa into a bed, and there was a missing blind on the window anyway, so we slept upstairs together (we are friends, not a couple). When you use the washing machine and maybe the stove together, the power will go out, and we were not warned about this. Before booking, I asked about the internet speed, as I work from home and need reliable internet for videoconferencing. She never responded to me about the speed- just never answered me at all. The wifi worked okay, but there were a few times in the middle of my meetings that the router would crash and that is unacceptable for my work.
The cost for our stay was very low and I appreciated that, but I'd recommend she hires a cleaning service or something. The water was hot for the shower, the heating worked fine, but there were so many other unpleasant experiences during our stay that I have to say I would not recommend this flat.
