I know, as Giuseppe told me when I said I wasn’t happy, that you get what you pay for. But this corridor room is very basic - the sofa in the picture is the bed. There is a desk, chair and TV, a portable wardrobe (a rail) and a bathroom and the patio (views of the backs of other properties). That’s it. No cutlery or crockery if you want a takeaway or to eat in. No tea or coffee despite the kettle and mugs (no spoons). It does have air conditioning. But I feel claustrophobic and skep badly.
I was surprised to be scalded by the host twice - on arriving late in the first day - hot and tired after walking an hour from Rome Termini station to have Giuseppe lecture me on the right way to do the journey. I felt ill and didn’t need the lecture.
Then when I pointed out my experience on the last day, Giuseppe rejected everything I said. You get what you pay for. Yes you do. I wish I had paid more and had a better visit to Rome. Caveat emptor.
