Agostino’s place has an unbeatable location, and the apartment is quite spacious. If you’re visiting room and you’re just looking for somewhere that you can sleep and be close to everything, look no further.
That being said, if you are also looking for a little bit more, in terms of having a mini-home-away-from-home, Agostino’s place left a little to be desired. However I’m sure all of this is easily remedied, so don’t read my review at face value.
There were a lot of low hanging fruit that would have made our stay closer more comfortable without much effort. For example, there are things to cook with, but no paper towels to use as napkins or pick up spills. There
were coffee pots but they were moldy. About half the electrical outlets don’t work in the house. The shower head needs to be de-calcified because the water comes out through maybe half of the water jets and looks quite calcified.
So all of these are easy things to fix and Agostino was a gracious host, so I have no doubt in my mind it’s because people simply have always been happy with it for what it is - a big apartment close to the sights of Rome. I just think it could be a little home feeling, without really much effort at all.
O and the bed squeaks a lot and definitely seems like it’s on the precipice of death.
