Emiliano's place is as advertised.
The bathroom is big and so is the kitchen.
There is a nice backyard, with turtles and some neighborhood cats. The kitchen also came with many essentials, spices, oils, coffee, etc.
The place is secured and once you're inside, you feel safe.
Things to know:
1. Location- If you aren't planning to do Public transport and are not renting a car, you'll have a hard time because the place is far from the center and with the traffic in Rome you'll end up paying a lot of money to Taxi's and Ubers. This was a mistake we made. But if you are planning to use public transport, then Emiliano has instructions on the booking regarding that and you should be fine.
2. Mosquitoes. It was a daily war with the mosquitoes even though we would spray down the rooms every day. This is not anyone's fault, just a reminder to buy some sprays for the rooms and for your body. Otherwise you'll have some beautiful mosquito art on your body.
Emiliano is great at answering messages, so make sure to ask him any questions you may have. We walked to Elite grocery store to get other essentials and we felt safe.
The place is close to a hospital so there are many sirens. There's also a church close by, so there are bells here and there. But none of these things made the stay unbearable. There is no AC, only a ceiling fan and some standing fans. If you're coming in summer, evaluate carefully. It was comfortable during this time of year, so we were fine.
I wish the TV had Netflix but other than that, this home served its purpose.
Italy was a dream. Hope to return in the future. Ciao. 🍁🍂
