This was our second experience with an Airbnb. Our first had been in Budapest, Hungary and we had a 1 bedroom apartment with a fully stocked kitchen. When we arrived at the place in Rome, it was like a hotel room - it was one room, with 2 beds, a mini fridge, and a bathroom. It certainly was on me - I am the one who made the reservation. However, since I was inexperienced at it, we were shocked when we walked in as a result of the most delightful unit we had stayed in in Budapest.
We arrived in Rome early in the morning and the host was very gracious to let us check in then rather than making us wait until the afternoon which is the normal check in time. We did have some issues with the plumbing, but he was as responsive and helpful as he could be.
