We have booked the place for a short stay (4 nights) for a family of 5 (us and 3 little kids - one of them newborn). We were kind of excited because of the 'good' reviews this place had and we were looking for beginning a great holiday. Unfortunately, it was a terrifying experience because of the state the apartment was in. Mold was eveywhere - in the so called 'master bedroom', where we were supposed to sleep with the newborn!! - in the living room, in the kitchen. For a young couple who stays only outside and get tired in the evening without caring where they sleep, maybe this is acceptable, but for a family with kids, this is not. This is outrageous and the apartment should be unlisted in this state - at least for families with kids, being know what problems mold can cause to a kid on the long run. Not to mention the hot water problems: we understood it's a very old building and the pipes are fragile and overwhelmed, but in our first day/night we didn't have hot water at all because the bolier was off. We didn't know there's a boiler and we had to warm up some water in a pot and wash the baby like in the past century. Anyway, we were feeling awful and terrified. We kept looking a whole day to change the place - instead of enjoying the time in Rome - but it was impossible because there were elections and everything was booked. I simply don't get why the owner/s can't spare a week or two of their incomes and do something about the hygiene in this wonderfully located place. I have washed the AC unit filters myself - there were dust and mold of at last 2-3 mm on them (the admin said they are washed weekly and that is the effect of the air in Rome, ahahaha, we should all be dead if that is the weekly amount of dust in the air). I hope this review bring some sens into the owners and keep other families safe.
