Owner was not there to meet me as he promised and I was locked out on the street with heavy luggage and dead tired after 30 hours travel. When I finally had to ask a complete stranger to make a cell phone call (thank heavens I knew a little Italian), owner arrived after 20 minutes. Room was very cold. Owner explained that there were Rome regulations to limit pollution that the heat could only come on about 7 or 8 PM and stay on only until about 8 in the morning. I have no way of knowing whether this is true, but I had emailed early on with concerns about the heat and wasn't informed about this. The room was large and clean enough and not too far from public transportation. The communal kitchen was OK. Lots of hot water but very chilly bathrooms due to above-mentioned heating problems. There were only a smallish bath towel and a small hand towel provided... enough to dry after a simple bath, but not enough to dry hair as well....and the additional problem that these towels did not get dry again for 3 days in the damp climate of Rome and in the chilly room. A very annoying thing was that the lights in the communal areas (sofa-sitting area and around the dining table) were on 30 second motion detecting time cycle. Since the lights in the room were too dim to read maps/guidebooks or anything else by, I found myself trying to read in the communal areas but having to wave an arm at the light every 30 seconds. My wallet "went missing" in a business nearby (not Daniel's fault or anything to do with his place) but he could not be reached by phone mid-morning when I was in an absolute panic and needed someone knowledgeable about how to proceed.
