We had a great stay in Rome overall, the communication with the host was great during organising the arrival, and the flat is in an amazing location, if you wish to visit Rome on foot.
But... and there are a lot of buts. Firstly, the place is much smaller and a bit darker in reality than it appears on the *very* carefully - probably with special lenses and added lighting - shot photos.
Secondly, even though the hosts do provide an array of things, most come with a caveat: - complimentary pasta and raw tomato, but no spices to prepare it with
- Free coffee (ground and espresso machine), but all instruments to actually make coffee were broken/unusable.
- Complementary bottle of chianti, but the worst I’ve ever had
- Shampoo and body wash, but barely enough for a single shower, so we had to buy our own.
Finally, the apartment was either very cold or very humid based on the heating settings.
It also got a lot of noise both from the neighbours (common coffee and washing machine in front of the door) and outside, as well as a probably mis-scheduled cleaning lady appearing at 7:30 am, opening our door without knocking.
Again, we did overall enjoy our 3-day stay in Rome, and the flat has a central location with helpful hosts, coming with no particularly big issues, but lots of tiny disappointments.
