The apartment is on the fist floor and very spacious. The rooms were clean (except the fridge) and it's well equipped. The master bedroom
matresses are worn and slope inward and uncomfortable. The AC is cold but the Wifi was out of data and unusable. The neighbourhood is typical of the big city with graffiti, garbage and dog feces everywhere but we had no security isuues. Our van did not fit in the parking area so we parked on the street with no issues.
If you use both showers and the washing machine at the same time you will trip the circuit breakers in the basement.
Our main issue was with the checkin process. This was our first trip to Rome and we texted our expected arrival time based on our travel plans and Google maps. When we became delayed due to traffic we texted our new arrival time and the host responded with an ok and and a reminder that a late checkin would cost us a late fee.
We decided to skip one one of our stops on the way to Rome to arrive before before the late. When we texted the host our new arrival time he became belligerent.
Since the host made no mention of any issue with the checkin time we were surprised at the hostility toward his guests. When we argued again
st the late fee the host threatened to cancel the reservation. We had no choice since we had elderly parents who needed rest and we would lose our money and have to find accomindations in Rome.
When Nina arrived to check us in she lectured on how wrong we were even after we paid the late fee. I asked her to drop the subject so we could get our elderly parents to rest but she insisted on telling us how great a man the host was and how wrong we where for arguing with him.
We have stayed in many Airbnb's and and never had a host threaten to ruin our vacation.
In his own words "we are not a hotel"
I would not recommend staying at any of his apartments if you are a foreigner traveling to Rome for the the first time and expect professional service for your money.
