We chose this apartment as it was close to Roma Termini. It looked quite good online. But the pictures do not describe the actual experience fully. Host Mario selectively responded to my messages - even after I reminded him to let me have a response to my queries. The apartment was renovated and kitted out like a hostel. There are 3 bedrooms, a pantry area and 2 toilets side-by-side in the corridor - it totally did not have the feel of a home. No common area for my family to share our time together and much of the provided items were low quality and inadequate in serving their needs.
1) Blankets were super thin (we initially thought they were bedspreads)
2) Dishwashing detergent in kitchen was watered down to the consistency of ... water
3) Shampoo and shower foam were the cheapest available in the market
4) Kitchen did not have adequate cooking implements to make a proper meal (no proper knife provided - just steak knives, no frying spatula etc.)
5) Wifi provided crashed every once in a while, leaving everyone without connection.
6) Aircon condensate water was collected in jugs in the common corridor and kitchen floor. We had to empty the jugs ourselves as the aircon water kept spilling over and wetting the corridor.
7) Only black coffee capsules and sugar provided. No other cooking condiments or tea available.
8) Dreary looking and worn-out floor - making the whole place look dreary and ghetto-like
9) Bathtub is not provided with a plug for you to fill it up to soak in.
10) tvs mounted to the wall of each bedroom were very small and further magnified the Hostel effect of this accommodation.
All in all, we chose this apartment due to its location, price and promised amenities. It did not make the mark for its amenities as it did not come across with enough sincerity to make our 4 day stay for our group of 8 comfortable compared to many other airBnB places that I have stayed at. Felt more like a new immigrant living in temporary accommodation before moving on.
