I want to start off by saying Daniela (Floriana’s assistant) was extremely welcoming and helpful, she met us at the apartment, helped us with our luggage and gave us lots of helpful advice about things to see/ do, it was a very friendly start.
Unfortunately the apartment just wasn’t for us, we found the apartment to be very dark, with no homely feel or lightness like the ad suggests. We also struggled with the shower, it didn’t seem to drain when using so we were showering in a deep puddle of water which just wasn’t nice, It was perhaps becoming slowly blocked which caused poor drainage? Our main issue was the parking, it advertised to have free parking or paid parking, what isn’t detailed is that if you are coming with a non Italian car then you have no choice but to park in the expensive multi-storey as it’s at risk being left in the free parking, the multi-storey was 15 minutes walk away which was a bit of a pain especially with a lot of luggage, it was also very costly. I feel that it should have been advertised in advance that if you are coming with a non Italian car then the parking is €20 per night aswell as a long walk away.
On the other hand, The location of the Airbnb is nice, just 25 mins walk from the coliseum and there is a bus network just round the corner, it is a very community feel in the neighbourhood, everyone knows everyone. There were plenty of restaurants nearby in the square aswell as a shop. The apartment also had great wifi, A/C and a washing machine which was all very useful.
