We were looking forward to our stay here given Rome is our favourite city. The property was a bit disappointing.
Firstly, the property is advertised as having air con. This is untrue, the AC in the living room does not work. There was a fan in the room which did not suffice and we were told to keep the windows shut due to security reasons. This was an important requirement for us given we’re light sleepers and Rome tends to be really hot this time of the year.
Secondly, when we went to take a shower the bathroom flooded with water as the drain was blocked. We used the plunger in the bathroom to unblock it which shot up a lot of dirt and a massive fly (which tormented us during the night for the duration of our stay). So we spent our night cleaning the mess and trying to unblock the drain pouring hot water. This was absolutely unacceptable and not something one wants to do at the start of a holiday.
Thé only redeeming grace was Angelo who was understanding of our situation and offered to refund us if we wanted to move out, which we did.
