Of the four Airbnb apartments we stayed in during our extended stay in Italy, this apartment was by far the least satisfactory. From previous reviews we expected a host who would be helpful in providing information on how to get around Rome and who would be responsive to any concerns during our stay. This was not at all the case. After arranging our travel to Rome to fit his schedule, our host, Francesco, was unable to meet us. He did have a friend meet us at the apartment and give us a little orientation. We then arranged to meet Francesco the next day, he did not come or respond to our text. In fact, we never met him.
The apartment was comfortable in some aspects: good air conditioning, good plumbing, and a nice kitchen well stocked with dishes, etc. There is also a dishwasher and clothes washer but we were taken aback that our host expected us to pay one Euro for soap for each load. He also had foodstuffs and items marked with prices. He charges 25 Euro for sheets and towels but only provided one set and didn't respond to our request for clean linens, even though we were there for over two weeks.
The apartment as shown in the photos at the Airbnb site were accurate and attractive. However, what is not shown is the dining table and chairs and some of the art in the room, which were of a very different nature. There was a framed artwork of rats and a human skull and chimpanzee skull on the bookshelf. The dining "chairs" were three rusty metal office chairs and a metal stool and the table was not clean (wood and metal).
This apartment is NOT conveniently located to the center of Rome. It took a minimum of 30 minutes and up to an hour to reach the Termini or Metro. We couldn't find a supermarket until the last days of our stay. There may have been quicker ways to get where we wanted to go, but as noted, the host was not available for such assistance, and there was only one tram and three buses that go out that far. So we had to rely on taxis when the trams and buses quit running, which happened twice in our stay.
We also contacted our host to let him know a package was going to be delivered to us while we were staying there. We had the package sent to us in care of Francesco, but the post office would not deliver it because Francesco's name was not on the mailbox. That is when we learned he is not living in Rome at all.
We left without ever meeting our host, which would have been fine if he had been more responsive to our questions and issues. After several attempts we quit trying altogether. Given all these issues, we do not recommend this Airbnb property.
