Upon arrival we were instructed to
contact an employee for check in
that did not answer his phone. In a
five story building with one main
entrance we didn't know where to go.
A short while after, a man came down
the stairs to let us in. Not too big of an
issue but the horrors were soon to
follow. The next day we got up to
noises coming from the kitchen
where Emanuel was preparing
breakfast. We thought it was a bit
early after traveling for 24 hours but
decided to just enjoy the day so we
went out. In Italy the temperatures
were so hot…hot like the surface of
the sun. After a long day out around
Rome we were excited to get back to
the apartment for some air
conditioning only to find that it had
been turned off and Emanuel was
instructed to do so every day
regardless of the discomfort of us
staying there. Keep in mind that
Italy's air conditioners are not that
powerful. It takes a good 6 hours or
more to get any sort of comfort once
it has been turned on. One of our rooms didn't seem to have any air
conditioning at all and another had a
waterfall coming from the AC the
first night there. One of us had left
the room key in there room one night
and Emanuel came to let them in with
a very angry individual that we had
never seen or heard of yelling that
they had to come a long way to that
in a very demeaning manner to the
point where we were very
uncomfortable. We woke up one
morning to a lecture that if the
elevator in the building were to break
again that we would have to pay to
have it fixed. Again, this is a building
with 5 floors and multiple units within
it. We didn't even know the lift was
broken but we're made to feel as if
we had something to do with it. The
last day we were there we were
forced to deal with construction that
sounded like they were tearing the
building down from around us.
Overall, the stay at this establishment
was an utter disappointment from
start to finish. I would not
recommend it at all.
