Unfortunately my experience at Annalù’s house was not entirely positive, though not just for her own sake. I should have stayed for three nights, but from the beginning I was not able to have a shower because of a breakdown in the bathroom boiler. I told the host about the issue and she phoned her trusted plumber, who was on holidays out of town. I told her, amicably, that if the problem had not been solved before the end of the day, the following day I would have gone elsewhere. Then she tried herself to run the machine and after a while told me it worked properly. In the evening I had a shower but I remained soaked under the cold water. Clearly the only way to fix the water heater was to call any available technician, but Annalù was not willing to do that. I asked her what she would have done if she had been in my shoes and she told me that since she had many positive reviews she would not care too much to have a negative one. At that point I left the house and look for a hotel nearby at my own expense. A technical failure can occur to any accommodation facility, and it is particularly annoying when it takes place during holidays or on weekends, but in my view the guests should not simply be told that it is nobody’s fault (which means they must partly give up what they paid for). I am sure the host was not happy with the situation and was sorry for that, but I was neither offered (or suggested) an alternative accommodation nor a discount on the cost of the room. Anyway, if you are not as unlucky as I was and look for a not too expensive lodging in the city centre, Annalù’s house can suit you as it is a clean place very close to the Piazza Fiume’s hub and a 20-minute walk from Termini. The shared bathroom is not the best option available, especially at night (but the path to get there is not long), and by decision of the host you must keep towels and other personal belongings in your room. Breakfast is not really as “rich” as advertised (coffee, muffins, melba toasts, jam, nothing else) and it is just sweet. The spring mattress was not the most comfortable I have experienced in my life. The soundproof windows significantly reduce the (not over-the-top) noise coming from the street, so the rooms are fairly quiet.
