1. Stay away if you want the host to show up at the agreed time - ours showed up more than 3 hrs later!!
2. Stay away if you want a good night's sleep in a soft comfy bed - the bed is rock hard!!
3. Stay away if you're on the bigger side - the opening to the shower is tiny.
4. Stay away if you want to be able to breath - the air at this place was kind of stuffy and not good quality at all.
I cannot give this place more than 1 star due to the above reasons. We couldn't sleep on the rock hard bed so it ruined our short stay in Rome. Took us almost a whole week to recover from the lack of sleep back home. The only reason it got 1 star was due to the location near the metro and Vatican with lots of restaurants and shops nearby.
I don't know what planet this guy is from, but when I say we're going to try to get there by noon, we really do try to get there by noon. There are many factors why we can't set a specific time. Trains can be late, we can hit traffic, anything can happen on our way there. I even messaged him on the day at 9 am to confirm we're trying to be there at noon and asked him to provide his phone number (which he did) in case we can't find the place and need to contact him. So we rushed to get to the place by noon, waited, messaged him, only for him to let us know he's not there. The reason? Since we were uncertain of when we will arrive, he had to take another appointment which the agreed time was certain. He said the cleaning lady will open the door so we can leave our luggage there, but he won't come until closer to 15:30 which to me sounded a little fishy. How long could an appointment take? We got into the apartment to leave the luggage only to find out the place was still a mess after the last tenant! Now I understand why he didn't show up at the agreed time. Even though he agreed we can check in at noon, but the apartment wasn't ready so he made up this story about another appointment. Because let me tell ya, he spent less than 10 min with us showing us how the AC works, where to find the wifi passwords, which keys go to where, and took pictures of our passports. He messaged us at 15:17 to let us know the place is ready for us. We were sitting across the street because after walking around for an hour in the hot weather with our heavy backpacks (which contain our valuables so we couldn't leave them at the apartment), we were exhausted and just sat there waiting in the heat. What really pissed me off was that he could of told us that the apartment wasn't ready by noon so we could stay a little longer in Civitavecchia and not have to rush like we did. I've read other reviews that this host did not show up on time and thought that it may not happen to us. Well, it did!!
Lesson learned, NEVER rent an Airbnb from a host that has multiple rental properties!
Also, NEVER recommend this place to anyone!
