Our stay at Anna Home was an ok experience; mostly due to it's great location. Otherwise, there were a few things of note:

- Although Lorenzo seemed well prepared for our visit (good communication leading up to the stay etc), unfortunately he was not in Rome at the time of our stay. There is nothing wrong with that - he has a life to live too - but the person or persons he chose to clean and prepare the apartment, as well as meet us for the keys etc, did NOT meet expectation. There was no one to meet us at the apartment when we arrived at the agreed upon time. After waiting for a while, we called the contact number provided and the person sounded surprised/annoyed that we were there waiting for him. After waiting nearly an hour for him to then arrive at the unit, we entered to find that it wasn't even cleaned or prepared yet since the last visitor. We had to leave for another 45 minutes so he could clean it, and even after all of this the unit did not feel or look very clean. (floors, sheets, comforter etc.)

All of these things were very frustrating as we arrived on a Saturday with plans to see the Vatican (it's closed Sunday, we left Monday) and were forced to rush over there because of the two hour hassle of "checking in" to the apartment.

We don't hold all of this against Lorenzo personally, but at the end of the day he is also responsible for the people he uses and the condition of the apartment.

It's possible that issues such as cleanliness are rare for this apartment and specific to the situation, but we cannot recommend this apartment to our friends and will not stay again despite the fantastic location.

If you're in Rome for a short stay and proximity to historical sites is your primary criteria then maybe give this apartment a shot.
