We have stayed in many Airbnb’s pre-Covid and post-Covid. I care deeply about cleanliness in addition to location and comfort.
Here are the pros:
•	Large living room area
•	Large and comfortable primary bedroom; good size 2nd bedroom
•	Good air conditioning
•	Free washing machine with detergent
•	Great location
•	Responsiveness of the property management team
•	Smart TV and Wifi worked well
Here are the reasons we will not rent this apartment again:
•	Dirty. I believe the owners, even with a staff of property managers, are not inspecting the work done by their cleaning team.
o	The red sofa and pillows you see in the photo are gross. I immediately covered it all with a sheet and pillowcases. Same with the chair in the living room. The owners need to professionally clean them or invest in new pieces that can be easily cleaned after every guest.
o	The floors. On day one of 8, I walked around with white socks and picked up more than a dry Swifter would! I saw an eye contact on the floor in the bathroom, yet my husband and I do not wear contacts
o	In summary, I challenge the owners to go into the unit after a cleaning and inspect it from top to bottom. Then, go at night and get one of those special, under-10-euro blue-light flashlights that show dirt. You will be shocked.
o	Based on what I saw, we removed the bed covers since it wasn’t clear if they were washed after the prior guests left that same day.
•	The listing said washer/dryer, but the “dryer” is a rack to hang clothes on. Yes, clothing dries quickly, but the listing needs to be accurate.
•	Garbage. This rental is not cheap, and we were willing to spend on the location and size of the unit. However, once we got there, the instructions stated that we must remove our garbage when we left. However, the garbage bins they wanted us to go to were 25 minutes away when walking! Who is going to haul their well-sorted garbage 25 minutes across Rome? This should be included in the package. For over $299 per night, this request is petty.
•	Water flow in the 2nd (small) bathroom. I got about 5 minutes of a quick shower and hair wash, trying to beat the time it turns to ice cold.
•	No freezer. Tiny refrigerator. We like to use ice and were unable to.
Summary: This is overpriced for the value and lack of cleanliness.
