Cold and dark in Rome
We stayed 5 nights in the apartment, which was neat and small but poorly equipped with few cheap appliances and not enough plates or utensils for 3 people let alone 6 as advertised. The heating was unreliable and kept cutting out - we had 2 nights with no heating at all. The fuses shorted every time we used an appliance, at least 3 times a day, leaving us in the dark and cold with a small baby. While Franco was reachable through Airbnb and aimed to fix problems quickly, he didn't call us once and sent his friends to rectify problems without letting us know beforehand. Having people knock on the door saying they were Franco's friends was strange when he wasn't answering our messages personally.
Having said all this, the apartment is in a great location near the station and would be fine for two people who planned to eat out while on Rome. Definitely not family friendly or currently equipped for cooking meals (what Italian kitchen doesn't have a colander for pasta?!) We won't be staying here again.
