It was my first experience with Airbnb. Don't know if I should regret it or not.
I booked two nights with the possibility of extending för 3 more nights.
1- Clean room but bathroom didn't smell good at all.
2- Definitely extra small shower place. 60x60 cm or at max 70x70 cm. I literally couldnt lift my hands while showering.
3- Bad sound isolation, I kept hearing sounds, laughs of a couple in the next room showering 😱
And believe it or not, part of the separating wall between my bathroom and the neighbours bathroom is a frosted glass blocks 😱
4- Bad location, I waiting at least 10-13 min every time I need a taxi to go to the historic part of the city.
5- Breakfast was located at a café (1coffee /1croissant)
6- Didn't have any contact with the host who is a lady. My contact person was a guy and we wrote on WhatsApp (Alessandro). Anna the lady who gave me the keys couldn't speak any English word and kept talking to me Italian as of I could understand (very funny) . But she was extremely nice woman. She is the only positive thing I will remember from this stay.
Cost 66.5 € / night
Two nights were enough to almost ruin my experience in Roma. I had to react quickly to save my trip.
-----------------------------------------------------
I booked a room in 4 stars Hotel:
1- Amazingly big with a balcony.
2- Modern and extremely clean bathroom with mega shower place.
3- Fancy lobby, nice terrace, Spa, GYM
4- Continental breakfast.
5- 2 min walk from vatican museum.
6- less than 1 min from metro station, and many busses and taxis around.
7- Many restaurants around.
Cost 76.6 € / night
Price difference was almost 11 € for everything mentioned above.
I feel extremely fool to book that Airbnb in the first place. If 4 stars hotel would cost 67.5 € /night then that airbnb won't deserve more than 30 € /night.
Not sure if I would use Airbnb app again. A very bad start.
