Pros:
LOCATION - amazing walkable perfect location.
SAFE - neighborhood was safe, we had a safe to put passports in for safe keeping.
COMMUNICATION - excellent communication. Paola always replied to us very quickly.
BAGGAGE - we got to keep our bags there for a bit after check out which was very helpful.
LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS - the owner left a list of great spots to eat with little descriptions. We referred to his list often and really loved it.
Cons:
VERY SMALL BATHROOM - very small bathroom and shower right off of the kitchen. Worked fine for us! But just a good note.
ADDITIONAL PAYMENT - When you arrive you do have to pay city hotel tax. It was about 14 euros for us for our 2 nights. This is standard in big cities so Rome was no surprise, however in most instances you pay this in the Airbnb payment when you book. Paola’s description does note that this is due at arrival but if you are like us and traveling to many places / booking lots of Airbnb’s, you may miss it. (Not sure if it is standard to pay this tax upon arrival in Rome)
WIFI- obviously if you have international data this should be less of an issue for you, but for us traveling from the US having a bad WiFi connection was pretty limiting. We relied on WiFi throughout our trip for planning and directions around each city. We did reach out to Paola after the first night and she did have her partner check on it but we did not have an improved connection after that. It was very spotty. I’d say we were connected 25% of the time.
OVERALL - great place, attentive host but do figure out if the little details will make a difference for you.
