We were attracted to Roberto & Claudia's place through their advertisement because it had 2 rooms (we were two non-romantic female friends traveling together and required 2 rooms) and the location being close to the Colosseum. For us, it was perfect.
There were a few snafus in our stay that should be noted:
When I made first contact with them, I mentioned that we were two friends traveling together. When we got there, only one bed out of four was made up and there was no other bedding available. When we called them, they said they would have to bring the bedding by the next day. It was cold that night so I had to make do with a few sheets I found in the room and some throw pillows to keep warm. ...not a pleasant first night.
They left only one towel set each for our 6-night stay. We asked for a second set and they brought them when they brought the bedding.
There was a partial coffee pot. We called asking for a complete one and got one delivered the next day.
The pictures were accurate but didn't allude to the fact that it is a damp, musty flat with no sun access. There were two atriums but no sun hits the windows or doors. Our stay was late winter/early spring so it was naturally damp in weather. When we read the other reviews before making the arrangements, we saw no mention of the dampness or moldy smell in the room so we now assume it was the time of year. One of us has lung issues so it would have been good to know about the dampness ahead of time; hence my bringing it up here. We would have chosen a different AirB&B to stay in. We were able to find relief by opening the windows at night which was quite cool but helped to alleviate the damp air a bit. We made do but would have preferred a dryer place.
There was a bit of a mix up, too, when we checked out. We were told we could leave our baggage but not told that we would have to wait on the housekeeper before we could put our luggage in safe keeping. We ended up leaving our packed luggage (three pieces) in a corner and going for coffee since the housekeeper was running late. We were able to store our luggage as requested in the end, just not how it was explained in the beginning.
All in all, we had a fantastic time in Rome...who wouldn't? Rome is the Eternal City. Roberto and Claudia have a lovely location to share with the traveling world. They are eager to accommodate when asked as when we asked for a good spa. I just think that a bit more care and clarity online would have made our decision more clear.
