The apartment was cute and cool on hot days even when the air conditioning didn't work for a day, but I wasn't aware that my social life would be monitored, especially after being told that I would have complete privacy. I went to Rome in large part to visit friends I have there, but apparently the doorman takes a particular interest in informing others, including the host, of one's comings and goings, which is not very consistent with the claim that I was to have independence. I'm 45 years old and don't need a concierge. I'm saddened that people couldn't mind their own business during this trip as I thought I was a perfectly respectful guest.
