Before I review, I want to make sure that everyone knows, I already knew what I was getting into, no surprises. When we arrived to Roma Termini, I was aware the office where we check into apartment was near by the station, but for me it was a hassle to get to because during my trip in Italy (from walking so much in wrong shoes, I developed pain in my Achilles heel and found it hard to walk at the end of my trip) and also my carry on luggage wheels were broken so it was hard to drag. So for me the location of check in was not ideal as I was already tired.
The room itself is in an apartment that is shared with other guests, and has a shared bathroom, living room and kitchen.
The furniture was ok, very antique, nothing special to me compared to the other spots we rented throughout our trip.
My main issue was with the bed, I couldn’t sleep very well because there was a very hard/ bad smell of a man’s cologne and Sweat; like as if someone was wearing heavy deodorant smelling cologne and sweat so much on the sheet and especially one of the pillows. I don’t know whether it was the sheets they didn’t wash or the pillow has just soaked up the stench and they didn’t replace.
Also, you only get one towel, most places give you a face towel and another bigger towel and a large towel for shower.
The room had a very large beautiful window with a beautiful view, but unfortunately that view came with a price; street noise. Although I live in queens New York and should be used to the sounds of traffic, it was much louder and noisier there or maybe this was just me.
In general our stay wasn’t horrible, the view was fantastic from our room, but there were few things I didn’t like, maybe because I’m comparing the places to the other places we stayed at.
