The internet was the SLOWEST I’ve had in 10 years (0.7 Mbps). It is a DSL connection that uses a phone line. At home, I’m used to speeds 1400x faster. I was extremely frustrated trying to search for restaurants and the various places we wanted to visit. Sites like Google Maps, Trip Advisor, and the airline site (for checking into my flight) often wouldn’t even load. This severely hampers someone’s visit to a city! (Our time in Rome would have been MUCH better with good internet.) Sharing photo albums with friends was impossible.
We didn’t know that the apartment was very high up (without an elevator): 50 stairs in stairwell that is sometime full of heavy smoke smell. Difficult with heavy luggage.
The apartment was not ready at check-in time and was still being cleaned after check-in (even after the host left).
It was not located near a metro. Once I realized this, I was so mad at myself for booking an Airbnb so far from a metro.
The kitchen is barebones.
The shower is even smaller and weaker than we had on a boat recently.
That all being said, Lorenzo is really nice. We liked him.
The bedroom was comfortable and had good air conditioning.
There was bottled water provided in mini fridge.
If you don’t need the internet and are aware of the location and the stairs, you could enjoy this place because Lorenzo is great.
