Bad experience, unfortunately.

- Part of the ceiling had collapsed. Daniele told us renovation works were planned for January. But maybe worth checking with him first ?
- Toilet flush was not working properly on Day 1. Daniele figured out a solution.
- Heating was out of order (temperature was 1-3 degrees in Rome at that time !). Daniele was responsive but couln’t find out a proper solution. With air conditioning we hardly ever managed to get a 17° C temperature. (Let me tell you this is quite revigorating ! ;o)
- Annoying ventilation noise coming from the yard at 6am every working day. Daniele told us there was a problem with a bank office downstairs, but maybe worth checking with him first ?

So let’s admit we played on Murphy’s law – shit can happen. Daniele was comprehensive, apologized for the inconvenience and agreed to refund us part of the stay. But still, we’d rather have had a proper apartment.

Now. Apart from all this bad luck, we still got the feeling the apartment needed a few extra bettering to perfectly meet Airbnb standards.
- No explanation/user manual is to be found inside the apartment. Having them at disposal would be helpful to know how oven, TV or washing-machine work.
- No insider tip either : a few hints on which bakeries/supermarkets/cafés are recommended by host would be more than welcome and would contribute to a « feel at home » spirit.
- A few dishes were greasy.
- Hot water is quite whimsical.

Now, location is great (close to Termini station and to Santa Maria Maggiori or Monti trendy neighbourhood) and the apartment is decorated with taste – which we much apreciated.

And Rome is just the most gorgeous city in the world (after Paris ;o)
