When we were in Rome, we stayed in Cristina's apartment which had several issues. The first has to do with safety and hygiene. The electrical outlets in the room were in a terrible state - literally hanging out of the wall and every time I had to charge something, I was scared. Further, the apartment was not as described - there are three rooms that can host 3 people each in the apartment with one tiny bathroom. The mornings were very hard with 7-9 people waiting for the bathroom and piled up garbage in the kitchen. Second, Cristina herself was very aggressive. It was our first time in the city and we had some trouble finding the apartment (the instructions were not clear either). We were a bit late but by the time we arrived at the apartment Cristina had left the apartment without informing us, even though she had my number. When I called her, feeling very stranded and helpless, she started yelling at me that it was not her problem if I couldn't find the apartment and that we had to wait 3-4 hours on the streets with our bags. It was very inconsiderate and I don't know how we would have managed if her brother had not intervened and offered to help by opening the door. If you want to stay there, be prepared to live in conditions worse than a hostel.
