Francesca’s house was our 4th and final stay in a 14 day trip to Italy. Let me start with the positive, which there was a good bit of! Loved the area, and perfect for dinner, nightlife, etc. Trastevere was quaint and beautiful! Also, loved the stylish little touches in the flat. Nice amount of space to spread out and relax. We felt like we had plenty of room for the 2 of us. Loved have a TV with Netflix and to watch from the bed, as it swivels for convenience. However, we booked the unit for July in Rome. It’s hot! So, AC was one of t main requirements when searching. I was highly disappointed to realize upon arrival that the AC unit was a stand up portable unit versus wall mount, like every other house we had stayed in. It has an out flow which required us to leave the patio door half open at all times (given there’s no window to run the output out of) or else the amount of heat that flows into the flat defeated the entire purpose of the AC all together. The first night was miserable as we got acclimated, to be honest. We also had to wake up in the night, sometimes multiple times depending on the temp and humidity, to dump the condensation unit. The AC shuts off when full, resulting in you waking up miserable and sweaty only to release you have to empty the machine. After walking 8-10 miles in the hot sun, being cool and comfortable was really important to us. We debated on leaving to stay the remainder of our trip in a hotel. I can’t say we found ourselves every really comfortable with the temperature. It was better than no AC, but never cool and as comfortable as we would have liked. I contacted Francesca about the unit and warmth in the room, to which she stated, “Don’t worry” (?), but never offered a better solution. I even requested help finding a place to purchase a fan, but she did not offer recommendations on where to purchase one, just stated, “I don’t know if you want to look for a fan.” Also, the bathroom had a very strong odor of mold/mildew and what we felt was potentially cat urine. I’d suggest you leave the door open as often as possible for ventilation. The bathroom is a great size and shower was nice, however. The odor just open left me feeling unfresh or clean. My lady issue, was a used sponge in the kitchen. There were aspects that made me feel the unit was more of us staying in someone’s home versus staying in a bed and breakfast or our own space. Could have felt cleaner and had touches that made it feel more personalized, individualized, and would have made our visit feel much more clean, comfortable, and thoughtful. Overall, we stuck it out and made Francesca’s our home while in Rome, but I’ll be honest, it...
