5 hours before arrival I received a message from my host Cate who told me that there was a water problem in the apartment so that we would not stay there. She proposed me as an alternative another nice flat but not so nice as the other and not so near to the city center. I refused her offer and ask her to cancel my reservation, she refused to do so. Afraid of losing my money and disappointed about her behavior I was obligated to accept her offer also because I hadn’t enough time left for looking for another place to stay. At last the flat she proposed us was nice and clean, Cate behaved also really nice and polite, she also picked us up with her car. In the next days I had a phone call with the roman water service and they told me that they reported no water problem in the area of the flat I have booked. I took a look in the last feedbacks of the host and another guest reported that her reservation was canceled few hours before arrival and Cate excused herself saying that there was a problem with the gas. I am asking myself if the flat really exists or if it is a threat.
