First and foremost let me just say location, location, location. If you are coming to see the sites of the internal city of Rome this place is in the perfect spot. Seriously!!! Carlos and his family were amazing host. They met and exceeded my expectations in every way. From the airport pick up to the drop off back at the airport. It was stress-free and very very convenient. They were incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and always wanting to be helpful to make my stay very enjoyable. The apartment was very very clean. It was comfortable and felt like a relaxing and homey cottage feel. The access to the apartment was secure and easy. The kitchen area was spotless and had every amenity you could ever want in a kitchen for AirBNB. The living room area was huge and comfy and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was roomy and functional and I loved the overhead rain shower feature. Again, I cannot stress how perfect this location was in my opinion to everything in Rome. But like everything else there are a few things that I would consider, let’s just say less than “perfect”. But by far not bad or a real negative. Different strokes for different folks.
The upstairs bed room/loft area, bathroom and an area for getting ready by the closet was a little stuffy. Not a lot of airflow and you needed the fan to blow on you in order to make it more pleasant after you got out of the shower or changing for the days outing or evening dinner. The fan blowing on you while sleeping made for a comfy night of sleep though. However, the fan switch was busted and someone had taped the push button switch to make it “work”. I told the host and I’m sure that the fan will be replaced. The bed. It’s Europe and mattress can be firm. IDK. But the mattress was a 3 maaaaaaybe a 4 on a scale of 10, with 1 being ill sleep on the wood floor. Again, that’s my opinion. I’m an old crabby man,lol.
If the mattress and the upstairs area were not a little, stress little, stuffy, I’d have given 5 stars. But good fans will cure that. Hence the 4. Sorry Carlos, helpful critiques I hope.
But a great mattress and airflow help upstairs, I’d stay here again while in Rome FOR-SURE!!!!!
