We stayed at Valentina's place for 11 days. The location is in a flat area of town away from the touristy areas, yet a couple of blocks from the subway and bus stops. The lift in the apartment complex worked well. We felt safe in the neighborhood (even at night) and in the apartment. The neighborhood was very quite, and it was nice to sit on the balcony and listen to the church bells in the morning. A/C worked in the bedrooms, but we couldn't get it to work in the kitchen/dining. We opened the bedroom doors during the day and that kept the entire place fairly cool. The bathrooms were modern, and there were hair dryers in each bathroom. The apartment was clean overall and modestly decorated.
This was a very special trip for our family of 4 and we booked with a super host because we wanted a nice, hospitable place to stay. After traveling for a VERY long time to reach Rome, we arrived tired and thirsty. Self-check in was easy, but we would have appreciated being met by the host when we arrived to orient us to the city, transportation, closest grocery store, etc. We never saw the host during our stay. We expected at least a small amount of hospitality. But, there was not even so much as a bottle of water when we arrived. We each had 1 towel and face cloth to last the entire 11 days, so after very long days of sightseeing, we had to come back to the apartment and wash towels. Our stay could have been so much more pleasant with just some small gestures of hospitality. We stayed in another location after staying here, paid less for it, and were made to feel so special there. I was hoping for the same when we booked this apartment.
