I wouldn't recommend staying at this home. The host communicated poorly and requested additional payment from me beyond what was outlined in the listing.
I booked my stay at Silvia's place about 1.5 months before my arrival date. On the day I booked, Silvia sent me a message asking what time I planned to check in, and I let her know my flight would land in Rome at around 9 PM and I'd come to check in immediately after that. She didn't respond, so I figured I was all set to check in on the first evening of my stay.
Silvia didn't message me again until the morning of my flight, letting me know that she had extended the check-in time by 1.5 hours for me specifically, and that someone else would be coming to let me into the apartment. I was confused, and looked back at my trip information for details on check-in, but nothing was listed. I finally found on the listing for the apartment that check in should be no later than 9 PM. I'm not sure if I missed this detail on the listing or if it was added after I'd reserved (I usually read the fine print closely when making bookings). I thanked Silvia for the extension and told her I would keep her updated on my travel.
When I landed after a delayed flight, I sent Silvia a message but didn't hear back from her for over an hour. When she finally responded, she let me know that because I'd be arriving after 10:30 PM (closer to 11), I'd need to pay an additional 10 euros in cash. She also said that if I arrived after 11:30, I would not be let into the apartment. The request for additional payment made me uncomfortable. I was traveling alone and fearful that if I did check in, Silvia might continue to request additional payment from me that hadn't been outlined anywhere in the listing or house rules. I therefore cancelled my reservation and booked a different place to stay for the weekend.
I wish Silvia had communicated the check in time to me back when I booked the home. At that point, I would've understood the rule completely and been able to cancel and re-book at no cost. Unfortunately, I had to jump through hoops with Airbnb to be partially refunded for this stay.
