Place is close to the colosseum and nice view from this room. It’s very much like a hostel. When I think of a private room, I think of staying at the owners home rather than an establishment. They make you walk about a mile from the train station to get the keys... to then get to the room, which is about another mile away. It’s very strange that they ask for a cleaning fee on the side which is expensive in my opinion, compared to other places in Italy. I’d prefer for things to be handled through Airbnb. They will ask for your passport as they have to register it with the city. It would be nice if this was disclosed as it made me feel skeptical and unsafe...
The room was clean but the pillows smelled. They gave us slippers from ikea which is a nice touch. It was hard to go to the bathroom sometimes because they were being used and we were hardly there. there’s about 6 rooms in the place and two shared bathrooms. They make you watch a video on the rules you must follow during your stay which is kinda strange. It just takes up a lot of your time to go through getting keys, checking in... they send a lot of instructions via email, which is good because they are communicating but the information kinda gets lost as it’s so much to read. I recommend for it to be more concise so it doesn’t confuse guests.
I think this place kinda defeats the purpose of Airbnb but oh well. We probably won’t stay there if we’re ever in Rome again.
