There was a truly awful smell in the bathroom that we tried to clear the first night. We felt ill the following morning and informed Giulia of the situation. We had limited time left in Rome and were to be out all day and evening. We didn't want to return at 11pm only to discover the smell still there. We needed to make a quick decision about moving on to other accommodation so we could enjoy our last two days in Rome rather than waiting around for a plumber. We did not get a response from Giulia in two hours (all other communication with her had been very quick) and had to make the decision to cut our losses and move on in order to keep to our itinerary. Giulia later contacted us upset that we had left prior to her getting a plumber to check the smell. She said neither she nor the plumber could smell it. We are at a loss to know how this could be. Apart from the smell the place was in a great location, nice layout and we are given some great dining recommendations.
