Context: 2 teachers + 2 sons (aged 5&8) travelling on a tour of Italy from North to South over 2 weeks. This was our 4th stop off and 2nd Airbnb. We'd travelled from Pisa to Rome termini and would move onto Naples after spending 3 nights in Rome. Although we didn't meet Francesca, she was very communicative across messenger before and during our stay. We walked from Termini station (about a 20 min walk with bags and children in the heat!) and were slightly late due to a late arrival from Pisa. We let Francesca know who then in turn let her friend know, who was meeting us. On arrival, her friend, Maria? showed us around the very quaint apartment and how to use everything. It is very homely inside. The washing machine and dishwasher were both a god send half way through our trip, as was the nespresso coffee maker and complimetry water, peach juices for the boys and the bottle of wine! There were 3 aircons in the apartment, one in each main room and towels available with complimentary shampoos and shower gels (as you'd expect in hotel rooms!) Also a bowl of complimentary sweets :) Corner pad pieces were everywhere to deter damage to walls etc which I thought was a discrete sign of respect expected from the guests as well as a realism that people use the apartment and understand this. Very different to what we'd experienced in the last apartment. Although it was a very swift check in, pretty much was all self explanatory. Thankfully I had a good look in the drawers and all of the papers/leaflets/maps etc as there is a blue plastic wallet in the cutlery drawer with some notes and key in. The key is important so make sure you know where this is! One of the lights blew when we were there one night and it cut out all of the electricity in the apartement, The key in the blue folder takes you down to the basement (the apartment is on the 2nd floor of a very old building!) where you tredge through some tunnels and get to the mains box to switch it all back on again! Once on, all works fine again. Unfortunately, this happened to us 3 times duing our stay and we figured it was down to using the air con, washing machine/dish washer and cooker all at the same time. Obviously too much to handle. However, the boys enjoyed the black outs whilst Dad went to sort the main fuse box! We went to visit the main sites in Rome. We arrived around 4ish so once we'd settled, we walked to the local supermarket - PAM local which is on route to the Repubblica station about 3 min walk around the corner (like a UK waitrose express). There is also a carrefour express further down nearer the station but more expensive. Repubblica is about a 6- 8 min walk from the apartment once you know...
