Spacious apartment in the very heart of rome. However, like with some old properties, it came with its issues. We presumed a few features of the apartment would be a little worn, however, we didn’t expect the water system to be. Situated above the bathroom sink was a rickety and faulty boiler. My partner went to use the hot water and found it to be brown with black bits filling the sink, thinking this was just dirty pipes we let the water run hoping it would sort it’self out. Instead the pressure suddenly dropped. The pipe connecting the water to the boiler shot off causing boiling hot water to explode out as spitting steam filled the bathroom and hallway causing it to flood.
The hosts were responsive to this situation and sent a plumber to the apartment a little over an hour after it happened who was able to turn off the water to the apartment and kindly helped clean the flooded floor. We were left for the night without any water and with the plumber being unable to fix the issue fully we had to source somewhere else for the rest of our stay. I don’t think one night is enough to judge the place fully, but I can certainly say we will not be staying there again.
