DO NOT BOOK at this host or this flat if you want to enjoy your stay in Rome.
At the arrival Federico asked us to pay the city tax. We paid in hurry and in the middle of the check-in chaos. We asked for a payment receipt but he refused to issue one ("not necessary" he said, while at the website of the city hall of Rome it is explicit mentioned that the host has to issue a payment receipt). Next day we started checking our booking and found out that the city tax was included and already paid. So, we asked Federico to check on his end and reimburse. He checked after a couple of days, did not reimburse (until today!), told us that we want to steal his money and asked us to pay 50 EUR for the early checkin (there were no fees agreed before). This is how Federico treats his guests. SHAME ON YOU! Btw. we escalated at Airbnb and after investigating they found a solution.
On the flat itself:
- It is not a luxury flat. It is just a standard.
- Maybe it was renovated but some issues are already damaged eg. door-handles are falling out
- it was not clean on the arrival day, in the fridge there was some unused food, opened jars with food
- there is a washing machine but no drying rack, so it is useless
- one TV was not working
- there are air condition units but no controllers, so another useless equipment
- smoke detector is mentioned but there isn't any. Same for carbon monoxid detector
- first aid set = empty box
- coffee machine is mentioned but there isn't any

We book flats on a regular basis and always everything went well. This time was totally different.
