This was my first visit to Italy and I was so excited to find a place close to the train station in Rome. Upon arrival, I followed the hosts detailed instructions to enter the building. However, when I rang the bell the lady who answered didn't speak English and never came to open the door. I kept repeating that I was there for the Airbnb, but she never came down. Thankfully, a resident happened to come along and he let me in. He also spoke to her in Italian, but she still never came to meet me and I had to figure it out on my own. After traveling all night, I was very tired and frustrated to have had this kind of trouble. Plus, who knows how long I would've stood out there if the resident hadn't come along? The apartment is on the first floor, but the elevator wouldn't stop on the first floor and would skip to the second floor. It did work, however, when I checked out. I was thankful to not have to carry my heavy luggage another time on the stairs. The bathroom could've used a few upgrades since it is an old building. I hated that when I showered, the water would go everywhere and I'd have to soak up the water with the towels each time to stand on a dry floor. I also would've loved to have had hand soap for washing my hands instead of having to use the dish soap from the kitchen. It is listed that there is an iron, but there is no ironing board. The host told me to use the table with a towel. It was very difficult ironing on the table, so I just used a towel on the floor. It didn't work very well and I was a little frustrated to have to iron my expensive lined dress on the hardwood floor. If you aren't steady on your feet, be aware of the stairs up to the loft. There is no railing and can challenging to use for bathroom visits in the middle of the night. Oh...and watch your head when you get up out of the bed. I bumped my head a few times on the ceiling. Ouch! The mattress isn't the most comfortable either. If you are much over 6 feet tall, you won't be able to stand in the living room where the loft is located. It's cozy sitting on the couch under the loft, but I couldn't figure out how to turn on the TV. Didn't matter a ton because I was gone most of the day exploring Rome and can't understand Italian anyway. :) I am very detailed with my reviews so others don't have any surprises during their stay. There were a few positives that I would like to add. First, I am so thankful the apartment had air conditioning. I don't handle heat too well and it was nice to rest in a cool place after...
