Anita Arte is a real proper B&B, there are three rooms, one leased to a long term tenant, the other two for Airbnb customers.
Owner Marco does not stay there.
Location is decent, place is old, though relatively clean.
Living room is quite packed and messy, unlike the pictures.
Shower water is scalding hot or icy cold only, impossible to adjust properly.
Marco was nice when I checked in, answering my queries and stuff. And said okay sure when I asked him if it was possible to leave my luggage in his place until the evening on the check out day.
On check out day, however, it was a different story. I woke up and got ready by 10am, the check out time. There was no one in the living room, so I originally thought that Marco was in the third room, as I remember reading someone saying that Marco stayed in the place.
However there was no one. I called the Airbnb supplied number for almost ten times but there was no answer. I waited again.
Then the permanent tenant lady came back, I told her my story and she offered to call Marco for me. It went through. Marco asked me if I can wait for him to reach before we can talk, so I did, until 11am.
When he came, Marco said "I don't want your bag in my house, there's many people walking in and out everyday. And I'm not free in the evening to come and give you your bag as I have to work".
I am personally very shocked, since I was all the time being respectful to him, and talking to him nicely. If it was not possible to put my luggage at his place after check out I would have understand and looked for an alternative should he have told me the day I checked in, but waiting for him for an hour only to be treated like that, I can't say it was a good experience for me. Sad to say I'll probably remember Rome in a bad light because of this incident. I ended up bringing my luggage everywhere I go that day because the train station had a crazy queue for the bag deposit and I was already running an hour late because I waited and tried to contact Marco during that hour.
