I stayed in this apartment for a little over 2 weeks and enjoyed my stay. The location is outside of Rome’s city center, but convenient to the Colli Albani metro station and many bus lines. As a solo female traveler, I found this neighborhood safe with a very authentic local feel.
The apartment is larger than it looks in the pictures, and it has the fastest wifi I have ever had in an Airbnb! I tested it and got 80-90 Mbps down and 30-40 up. I would definitely recommend this apartment for people who need to work while traveling (although if you do a lot of calls, expect some street noise). I also appreciated the washer in the unit, and the bathrobe, slippers, and umbrella are nice touches. Heads-up: The bed is EXTREMELY firm.
The kitchen is well equipped with supplies, herbs, and spices, although the “breakfast” included with this unit was … strange. It consisted of 6 Twinkies (well, Italian Twinkies called “mini rolls”), a bag of saltine crackers, and a liter of milk, which were given to me when I arrived and never replenished over the course of my 16-day stay. I don’t have much appetite in the mornings, so I never contacted Sara about this – maybe she would have offered something else if I’d requested more or different breakfast food; I’m not sure.
This Airbnb comes with a 3.50 euro/night city tax that you need to pay in cash when you arrive. (I believe it’s capped at 35 euros.) When I booked, this was not stated in the English-language version of the listing; it was an unpleasant surprise, but we got everything sorted out with the help of Airbnb’s resolution center. I’m mainly bringing it up so English-speaking guests will know to check about this if the host doesn’t update the listing. There was some tension around this issue in my early interactions with Sara, but once we resolved it, she was courteous and professional.
Overall, I’d recommend this unit to short- and long-term travelers alike. Thanks for the stay.
