This is my review of a yearly stay at Nicoletta's apartment. To begin with, the apartment I booked on Airbnb was not the one I was given. It was at the same building, however, the apartment was a different one. I didn't mind it at first, because after first glance the only thing which was different was the color of the couch and different painting on the wall. However, after a few days of stay, I noticed some annoying things. The flush of the toilet was practically broken, half of the kitchen pots I found were too rusty to be used, the bed was very uncomfortable and the duvet was extremely old, unpleasant and nothing like in the picture. Moreover, the apartment was very dark, because the windows were small and even during the day I had to turn on the lights, mostly in the kitchen. During autumn and winter, it was also very cold, especially at nights. Later during my stay, there was a big mold in the bedroom, a poor Internet connection (which was particularly annoying because I had to study) and some plumbing issues. Nicoletta and her sister Daniela were available to contact and helped me with everything, however not always as fast as I would like it. Additionally, they didn't seem to care much during my stay whether I need something, like clean bedsheets, some fresh towels or cleaning products.
Generally speaking the best thing about the apartment is its location. Its only 15 minutes' walk from the Vatican, there is a bus stop and 24hour market just outside the building. In my opinion, this is a good apartment for a short, touristic stay when you spend most of your time outside and you don't have to cook that often. However, after spending eight months there living as a student I must say, that unfortunately, I am disappointed. The biggest disappointment is that I was given a different apartment, which I couldn't change for the one I booked online because it was always occupied with different guests. When choosing an apartment I took under the consideration mostly the number of comments, because this was the most reliable source of opinions about the apartment. Only later did I realize that the one I lived in only had a few comments on Airbnb, also negative ones, and for that reason, I would personally never booked that particular apartment. Also, I was paying for the apartment, in which technically I haven't slept a single night, which for me was slightly debatable.
