Pros:
- Fantastic location. Steps to pizza, paninis, a grocery and taxis... and the Vatican walls
- Safe, gated apartment complex with a charming court yard
- Comfortable and charming furniture
- Spacious kitchen with complete kitchenware... Wished there was a coffee maker though
Cons:
- Trash is disposed in the town square... A block away from the apartment complex... Not in the apartment complex
- Portable air conditioning in one bedroom which, like an electric fan, did not cool the room at all
- A loose kitchen cabinet and a refrigerator handle that fell off
- A weird 1/3 bath tub/shower. Fun for 6 year old kids... but really tight (and maybe dangerous) for grown ups
- A shower curtain that had stains / mould
- Met by Vinod (not Gabriella) who was not exactly personable. He handed the keys (made sure we knew how to use them) and a map - that's all. He did not tell us anything about the residence (like where to throw the trash) or the neighbourhood (like where to get a taxi).
- He mad us feel like he was doing us a favour by handing us the keys... We needed to figure out info/things that other airbnb hosts provide as a standard
- I did not expect Vinod to take pictures of our passports (something I find very personal and confidential)... for a reason poorly explained: "anti-terrorism"
