The POSITIVE: Good location, two blocks to Metro station Pigneto, probably no more than a half hour from Rome’s center from there. Great balcony for eating/drinking/relaxing on after a long day exploring the city. Grocery/liquor literally a block away. Place had everything we needed for cooking breakfast. Plenty of space.
The NEGATIVE: Main shower head broken but functioning, and before arriving we were under the impression we had a 3 hour window in which we could check in that aligned with Filippo’s cleaning schedule. However, two hours before that window’s end while we were at the Forum (which we paid to get into) we were told by Emilia that Filippo was waiting on us, and were eventually rudely offloaded entirely to Filippo (who is great) because Emilia was too busy with her work in Paris to manage the details of our check in. So, we cut our Forum visit short and caught a cab to the apartment to get the keys and the apartment overview. Biggest pain in the ass check in we’ve ever experienced with Airbnb, with an unnecessarily rude host to boot, which caused us to burn both time and money.
