I wish I could give this place a great review, because there are many good things about it. So to be fair I’ll start with that. But beware for the bad.
The Good
It’s in a perfect location in central Rome, in a great area called Monte. Nearby there are many restaurants, bars, taxis, metros and sites with walking distance. It’s so close to all the main attractions we didn’t need to use the bus or metro to get around. The place is a bit smaller than it looks but perfect for 2 people. Maybe 4 if they sleep tight fit on the couch. It’s very clean and has many amenities with the e caption of a dryer.
The Bad!
Giuseppe who seems like a very nice man, has a shady side to him. As you see in his reviews, people state that the power shuts off in the apartment. Giuseppe will tell you it’s because the building is old, but the TRUTH is, that he has an someone standing in front of the building to watch when u come in and out, and who shuts the power off in your apartment from the downstairs lobby. He does this to keep His electric bill down. I believe it may be the super who’s room is across from the power box. The power was shut off twice on us, and my girlfriend caught the man hiding in a closet in the lobby while I was trying to fix the switch. Also the actual tenets in the building said the power never goes out in the building or their apartments, only Giuseppe’s apartment. This was potentially dangerous, as when the power goes out at night it is very dark in the apartment with the windows closed. And I could not easily contact Giuseppe without WiFi because the power was off. Furthermore when tired to do a load of laundry while out to dinner but because the power was off the clothes sat in the washer all day soaking wet because the power was turned off in mid cycle.
So if this does not bother, and u will not use AC and washing machine or charge devices while gone. Then this is a great location. I wish this didn’t happen so I could say nothing but good things. The place is great, the host is not.
