This is a nice apartment located in a quiet residential area of Rome and in addition it has a private parking space that can fit 2 cars which is a great plus. A car is necessary for this location as there is nothing within walking distance and a taxi if available will take 20+ minutes to arrive.
I planned a long stay in Rome so I asked the owner if we could see the place before actually renting. From prior experiences not all units in Rome are as good as they look in the pictures. The owner agreed and allowed a partial quick look and then we booked the place.
The owner requires a ‘deposit’ for renting the unit to cover any damage or losses during the rental. I agreed and gave him a 900 euro deposit upon checking in.
After checking in we had several uncomfortable issues that caused us to argue with the owner and everything went downhill from there.
The unit’s description is inaccurate as the unit is not a 4 bdrm/ 3 bath.
It only has 2,5 baths and this for a large family makes the unit much less comfortable, specially since the second bath is very small and most importantly the shower is very small and leaks all the water out. It mentions that bedroom 3 & 4 include Murphy beds but they were not present. I was not aware of any of these issues before checking in.
Another issue that is important to know is that there is AC in the master bedroom and the living room only. The other 3 bedrooms have no AC. Fortunately we had some cool weather during our stay however sleeping with the windows open everyone in our group got chewed out by the mosquitoes.
At the end of my rental period I was dissatisfied with the way the owner handled my deposit and this ended up in an heated argument.
In the end I must say that the owner returned the deposit to my complete satisfaction and I also returned the unit in perfect condition as always when I have rented vacation properties on any website.
