Giorgia helped us to arrange a taxi from Fiumicino airport to the house (costed 50 euro if you pay cash, 55 - if you pay with card).
Unfortunately we didnt get to meet her, but communication with her was quite smooth, check in was easy.
We have received some cookies, jam, milk and water upon our arrival, were grateful for that!
1) The house looks almost exactly like on the pictures, but I have to say it looks better on the pictures (I guess because of added light or something).
2) It was very cold and humid in the house. The floor was ice cold, no slippers provided (it was provided later upon our request).
Clothes were getting dump and smelly because of that.
3) My husband found the bed to be very uncomfortable and hard (I was comfortable, so I guess it is each to their own), we have asked for an additional mattress, received another blanket instead.
4) We have asked for one more pillow and slippers, found them the next morning on the outside table, no message about it, without the bag or something, it was laying just like that on the table, getting wet (it rained a bit prior to that).
Leaving a pillow that a person is supposed to sleep on on the outside table without a bag in a rainy humid weather is weird, to say the least.
In regards to slippers, we have received three pairs (we are two persons), one was a normal pair of slippers, the other two - extremely weird looking slippers (?) which were actually just a piece of fabric with rubber band around your ancle.
In addition to that they were wet. We did not use them.
5) There were quite a lot of ants running around the kitchen and in the bed.
6) There was no fire alarm (it is listed in amenities).
When we voiced our concern we were told not to worry about it, "usually this place is safe" (uh, okay)
7) There was no iron (it is listed in amenities).
8) It says that the kitchen is fully equipped but there was no kettle (but we found tea bags, I dont know how they were meant to be used).
9) We also had some issues turning the gas stove on, had to contact Giorgia about that, she said that there is a safety throttle that needs to be turned to the right before we can turn the gas on. Turns out you have to turn it to the left, not to the right.
Could be very useful to add that info!
10) WiFi was working very, very poor.
11) The curtains and pull down blinds were in a very bad state, with holes on pull down blinds. I know it is a simple house but it can not be expensive to buy new curtains.
In response to our concerns and requests (voiced politely and respectfully) we were told that she is surprised by the amount of our requests, that her guests are usually happy in this house and that she can suggest us to go to Deluxe hotels "where all our needs will be satisfied".
Sounds like we have some high demands, but trust me, we dont! :D
We are very simple people who just want basic things like to not freeze, to not have ants in the bed and to be able to make a cup of tea. Is that too much to ask for? I dont think so :)
It was quite uncomfortable to have to keep on contacting her about such small basic things.
Overall our stay was alright, even though we have had a few things to be unhappy about.
I made sure I left the house as clean as possible nevertheless.
In regards to area, it is quite close to Ponte Milvio, takes about 15-20 minutes walking there. Lively area with lots of small restaurants.
From there you can take bus (bus stop located before the bridge, like if you face the bridge and dont cross the road - look to the right, you will see it. Otherwise just use Google maps, it takes few seconds to find it) or tram (have to cross the bridge to get to tram).
It costs 1,5 eur (lasts for 100 minutes I think).
Generally people are very nice there. Be prepared that not so many people speak English. That is okay, it is not their language, they are not obligated to speak it. But I did find it weird that even in some places specifically aimed at tourists no one spoke a single word of English. Body language and a smile can get you by just fine though :)
I enjoyed my stay despite minor discomforts listed above.
Like I said, it just made me uncomfortable to have to keep on contacting (and what felt like disturbing) Giorgia about these little things.
