Check in at Federico’s was very very easy! Very communicable and seamless. They were flexible as our train time kept getting changed.
Pros:
1. Location - within walking distance to everything in Rome!
2. Able to coordinate taxi, huge binder of recommended restaurants, things to do, etc. *Federico is a VERY good host with a lot of experience and truly cares about guests stays*
3. Flexible generally and quiet surroundings - the electronic shades were lovely for blocking light and providing privacy
Cons:
1. The place was clean but it wasn’t spotless (hair in corner of stairs, coffee cups slightly dirty)
2. This is in a dimly lit area in Rome so if you are alone, a foreigner, or not from a city, it may be daunting for a solo female traveler. Always be aware of your surroundings and safe! However, this made for peaceful sleeping.
3. **this was the catalyst for the 3 stars. The day we were leaving, around 5 am, I heard the front door open and noise downstairs. I was frightened and thought it was a family member, but they were both asleep with the doors closed. Essentially, someone had come into the apartment - I presume afterwards it may have been a laundry service or the staff grabbing something. Either way, it would’ve been nice to have a heads up that there would be a chance of someone stopping by as I was quite afraid during the experience.
Other then this, overall the stay was good for two nights. Thank you Federico for sharing your space and I hope any feedback I’ve provided will be helpful for you and other guests. I would stay at one of Federico’s other properties as I think he’s a lovely host.
