AVOID! This was the worst experience I have ever had with AirBnB. I honestly cannot understand why this space has such good reviews. We (my mother, sister, and I) were horrified during our 1-night stay to find that the ENTIRE space had an extreme foul odor. It was so pungent that it 'hit you in the face' the second you walked in the door. The only way I can describe it was severe animal urine that had been baked in to the place. It was an odor that had been there for awhile. Everything smelled - the linens, the curtains, the air, upstairs, downstairs, you name it. The host arrived onsite to re-mediate and mentioned that they would hire a cleaning service that afternoon while we were out on a tour. He claimed that the smell may be from outside, which I took his word for, however we soon came to realize it was definitely coming from within the home. We came home to find the smell even worse, now just covered with air freshener. The host was communicative, although denied the odor the second time and said it disappeared. The odor was so foul that my mother vomited that night.
PROS: Location is close to plenty of restaurants, Pantheon, Campo de’ Fiori. Spacious space. Host was very accommodating when we asked for help finding an airport transfer. He set up an early morning departure ride for us and it was greatly appreciated! (thank you!)
CONS: PHOTOS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL SPACE!!!! (I cannot stress this enough). WiFi barely works and when it does, it is only in the common area. MUCH PRICER than other hotels and spaces in the area...even without the odor, it was not a good value.
