What a disappointment. I decided to splurge on my last night in Rome, and booked this place with high hopes. Don't get me wrong, the location is great, and the apartment is located inside a nice building with an elevator. The check out time was extended by an hour which I really appreciated. But that is about the only good things I can truthfully say about this place. However, the apartment was so poorly kept and needs a LOT of work. I was actually quite shocked to find the state it is in.
First of all, I had a problem with the cleanliness of this apartment. Upon checking in, I noticed a few strands of hair on the shelves inside the refrigerator, which I found repulsive. I also found hair on bed linens both on the bed as well as the extra linens provided inside the closet. The bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned, with corners collecting dust and the shower tiles / booth covered in orange grime. This was all quite surprising especially considering that the host charges guests for a cleaning fee. Additionally, the plastic buttons on the toilet flush were broken as well. You can visibly see the cracks on the buttons. Also if you push it in too far the button will get stuck and the water runs continually, so you must snap it back out manually. This seems like an easy thing to replace, if you ask me.
Next, all of the furniture in the apartment is very worn down, and on the verge of falling apart. The dining chairs were probably the worst offenders. The screws are popping off and every time one of us sat on it, we had to do it with great care for the fear of falling. The white sofa in the kitchen is disintegrating. If you dare sit on it, you will be covered in white particles of vinyl. The stools that are scattered in the kitchen and bedrooms have filthy upholstery. The mattresses are also very worn in and uncomfortable. I found the state of the furniture offensive as a guest staying here - you would honestly find better furniture in a hostel.
Lastly, we had an issue with the hot water on the morning of our check out. We did not get a response from the host for about an hour (which is understandable considering it was new year's day), so that meant my parents and I had to take icy cold showers that morning. Eventually we got a response back from the host and the issue was resolved, but it was too late at that point.
All this to say it's not worth $300 / night. You can do better, whether that's in a boutique hotel or in another Airbnb. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless the host made significant changes to the maintenance of this apartment.
