Okay apartment in a good location, but with many areas of improvement.
Pros:
- good location for walking to Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican.
- the apartment has everything you need, including a stocked kitchen.
- communication with Guglielmo was quick and easy
Cons:
- the checkin instructions in the form of a YouTube video took longer to get through than a simple message via AirBnB. One of the videos also doesn’t include the floor number for the apartment, which made things more complicated…
- the Wi-Fi was extremely slow…
- one of the bedrooms (with the sliding door) essentially doesn’t close since the door has huge gaps in it.
- the mattress in that room is extremely soft, so unless you like that, this could be a problem (it was for me).
- the bathroom in that room is separated from the bedroom by a rolldown screen, which doesn’t cover the space at all. So you will be doing your bathroom business in full view (and within easy earshot/smell range) of the bedroom.
- there is a 25 euro cleaning fee that isn’t included in the AirBnB charge but you are expected to leave on the table when you check out.
- checkout is at 11 but the cleaning lady started buzzing our room at 1045 with increasing frequency. We didn’t know where she was (the airphone wasn’t working so my brother even went downstairs to open the door for her), so that was quite frustrating… when we finally did manage to cross paths, she was quite rude and demanded 30 euro (instead of the 25 that we were asked for in the AirBnB message). Not a pleasant checkout experience.
