Overall, the listing is as described and in line with the pricing. Clean.
During the stay, we talked with Linda and Diane who were both very sweet and accommodating.
A few things to note:
- Though the stations are close as other reviews have pointed out, it took about 40min-1hr to get to and from the major landmarks of Rome with a metro/bus combo, and given how slow and a bit unreliable the public transportation in the city can be, that ended up sometimes taking longer.
- I am surprised I did not see this mentioned in other reviews so perhaps it was a unique situation with our stay, but we had a TERRIBLE smell emanating from the bathroom. We tried to deal with it for the first day of our 3-day stay, but it got so bad, it became nauseating. On the second day, Diane very promptly did some magic (not sure what exactly, it may have been intense levels of air freshener while we were out), that masked the smell some for the remainder of our stay. This may not be a specific problem to the listing as there are reported problems with the sewage within the city.
- As others mentioned, it gets pretty loud at night, especially on the weekends. Because of that, we couldn't leave the windows open while we slept, which only made the aforementioned smell worse. It was a sad combination.
- Response from the team was nonexistent in the weeks prior to the booking, when we had reached out with a couple of questions. We heard back within 2 days prior to our arrival but after it was pretty easy to reach Linda.
