We reached Rome 3 hrs before the check in time and the host was gracious enough to let us check in 1hour 15 mins before the actual check in time. The apartment is a 10 min walk to Colosseum and has many restaurants nearby and also very close to the bus terminal.
Beware of the check time on the description and house rules section, both are different and that causes tons of confusion.
We reached and were greeted by the cleaning lady that arrived after us to clean and set up the apartment. It took her close to 2 hrs to fix up the apartment so even if we had checked in 1.15 hrs later the apartment would not have been ready. There was no hairdryer, no iron and we had to request for each of these items.
The gas burners didn’t work and he had a makeshift burner set to use. The whole apartment felt like it was going to fall apart, we had to climb the bed every time we wanted to turn off the light because the main switch turned off the fan and light both. The apartment looked like it had not been cleaned in years. The terrace furniture was dirty and no one would be able to enjoy the view sitting on that furniture. The shower clogged every time it was used and the host didn’t even bother to get this fixed, we were asked to lift the drain cover during a shower and put it back on once the shower was done. Every single call to the host ended up in back and forth. I’d give this place 3.5 stars for proximity to colosseum, 2 stars for cleanliness and 1 star to the host for his utterly ghastly hospitality. This place has had no reviews in the last 2 years and now we understand why. Please rent at your own risk. This is definitely not worthy of being a super host. Stay away if there are other options.
