In the past I have always stayed in hotels during my vacations. My girlfriend suggested we try an Airbnb, I was hesitant but we thought let’s give it a try.
We wanted a great location in the center of town, something pretty, stylish with 2 bedrooms. We decided on Via Della Vite.
The photos looked awesome, the reviews were in general positive.
Communication with Miriana was efficient and helpful. She organized transfer to the airport, gave us restaurant tips and even brought additional towels during her lunch break to the apartment.
The location is perfect, close to the Spanish steps, via Condotti, Fontana de Trevi and other sights. We were thrilled with the location, happy that the apartment building had an elevator.
Those are the 2 positive things of the Via Della Vite.......
The rest was a huge disappointment.
First, we selected this place because of the 2 bedrooms, only one bed was made. We had to make the bed ourselves. In the second bedroom, there is no place to hang up some clothes, not even a clothes stand. The curtains were dirty, the lamps on the night table were filthy, the duvet cover hat stains and the bed linens had seen better days. In the bathroom there is not sufficient place for towels or toiletries. The only mirror is in the bathroom over the sink.
The kitchen had very little china, dirty coffee cups, no paper towels, no dish cloth to dry dishes, we bought a bottle of wine, one wine glass......
The chairs were spotty and filthy, the radiator full of dust, the silk orchid full of dust, I walked barefoot one morning after showering and my feet were dark brown, the floor has not been washed in months......
We were there 5 nights one set of towels per person.....we paid 200euro per night. This Airbnb is worth 2stars..... a huge disappointment .
Miriana who is the contact person is great, the owner collects the money but doesn’t invest in the property.
Be advised the bedroom facing the street is loud, very loud, bring ear plugs.
