Lorenzo's apartment has the potential to be a true gem! The location, especially if it’s your first visit to Rome, couldn't be much better, even though i prefer staying in Trastevere :)
Unfortunately the apartment is , apart from a new bathroom, pretty rundown and quite dirty. When we arrived the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes and greasy/smelly pans! Also the overall cleanliness of the apartment wasn’t up to par - floors hadn't been washed and so on.
Unfortunately we also have several issues during our 4 day stay:
Dishwasher full of dirty dishes.
Window broken i bedroom (could not open)
Light in bedroom did not work
Kitchen faucet broken and sprayed water all over the tabletop.
Gate almost impossible to open - you have to jiggle the key for several minutes each time to get in.
NO hot water in the shower on our last day!!
Very poor communication
All the issues were discussed with Lorenzo - unfortunately he didn’t respond to most of my messages - so remember only to communicate via AirBnB, so you have proof of communication. The broken window and kitchen faucet were finally fixed on our last day.
So to recap - it’s really a great apartment, especially the location, but in the rundown state it is at the moment, I unfortunately wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
This was my fourth visit to wonderful Rome and I’ll surely be back - but I’ll need to find a new place to stay ….
