My experience with these guys was not terrible, but not great either.

I say "these guys," because Daniele was not my host. Other than my interaction with him over Airbnb and a text message, I never met him. After initial contact, we were directed to meet his friend, Andrea, at the address on my listing.

To make matters worse, when we arrived at the address and found him, Andrea told me that they had overbooked that room and that we'd instead be staying at a place a 10/15 minute walk away.

This new place consisted of 3/4 bedrooms and 2 very small bathrooms. I felt like I was back in my college dormitory. The place was clean, but no-frills: it definitely wasn't like the room pictured on the listing I booked (but remember, I never saw that place!).

That's when it became clear to me that Daniele, Andrea, and the rest of their crew are basically running a multi-location, low-budget hostel over Airbnb. Such a place was exactly what we were trying to avoid by using Airbnb. Thankfully, we were only there one night.

To their credit, the room was clean and the bathrooms worked well enough. And the place was fairly quiet.

So, after reading this, you should have a much better idea than I did of what you're getting into: you're booking a room in a hostel that will be located somewhere in Rome (who knows how many other locations they have), perhaps not at the address you selected. If you're cool with that, then you will be fine here. Like I said, my stay was pleasant enough. I just didn't realize what I was getting into.
