My wife and I began our honeymoon which included a cruise of the Mediterranean with stops in Italy, Malta, and Greece with 3 days in Rome in May, 2017. We found Oriana's penthouse apartment on this site and thought that it looked perfect for us.
The location is great! It is conveniently located near the intersection of Via del Corso and Via Tritone which makes it a couple of minutes from the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. There are bars, cafes, and even a supermarket nearby.
Oriana and her team were responsive to our questions and were always eager to help. They even helped us make arrangements for transportation, tours, and restaurants. All of their suggestions were good and took away some of our stress.
The apartment is very similar to the description. It's pretty spacious and has all of the essentials you need. The rooftop terrace is a little less impressive than how it is advertised (your view is mostly blocked by rooftops and antennae) but it was still nice to sip wine under the stars.
All that being said, there were some pretty significant issues with the utilities while we stayed at Oriana's apartment. First, the air conditioning did virtually nothing to reduce the temperature in the apartment. Even will all 3 units running at maximum, the apartment was still hot and stuffy. Fortunately, opening the windows helped create a breeze through the apartment which cooled the place down. The only draw back to this... mosquitoes. Essentially we had to choose between being uncomfortable and unable to sleep at night because of the temperature or getting bitten dozens of times by mosquitoes every night. The second issue was with the water. On our final day, the water simply stopped working. We couldn't run tap water or even flush a toilet. My wife was unable to shower before we left. Oriana's team was quick to respond but the matter couldn't be resolved before we had to leave.
All in all, I'm glad that we experienced traveling with AirBnB abroad but this particular apartment didn't really live up to my expectations.
