This Airbnb is in a great location and had everything we needed. Ilaria was a wonderful host and very responsive. She gave us recommendations around the city and was so gracious in waiting for our arrival when we were late because of public transportation. We also really appreciated the flexibility around check in and check out. My friend who had been to Rome before said that she enjoyed her time in the city so much more than the last time because of how great the location is. Nothing is really more than a 30 min walk from here. It was also great to have AC, Netflix, and a full kitchen, even though we didn’t use it much.
One thing that could be improved is the wifi. It was essentially unusable for the 3 of us, and didn’t improve when we tried just one device either (so bandwidth doesn’t seem to be the issue — we put all devices on airplane mode except one, but it was still spotty). The speed seems ok at about 14-20mbps. We were able to connect but it would drop off after about 2 minutes, even though it would show as connected. This could’ve been a really bad problem for us because we needed to do proctored covid tests for reentry to the USA, but the internet wasn’t stable enough for a video appointment which would’ve been 20 minutes. In the end we got international data and did the test over hotspot. I did see one other review that had the same issue (inconsistent wifi even after restarting the router). We didn’t get a resolution to this, but Ilaria was very responsive when we reached out. Since we were only there for 3 days, I’m not really sure what could’ve been done to fix it. Besides the stress around trying to get the test done so we could return home, it didn’t end up being a huge problem since we were out in the city for most of the day. However, it is something to keep in mind if you’re planning on working remotely here, or if you need a covid test you should probably have a backup plan.
