I have stayed for two months in this airbnb, which I don’t recommend. It’s expensive for what you get. I chose this airbnb principally for its location (the only advantage) and since it was the last available place with a laundry machine not far from the Vatican where I had to go everyday.
Things you should know before booking:
First, the pictures of the room have not been updated for long, so they don’t correspond to reality. The room is shabby, the bathroom is worse. The laundry machine was very dirty, full of mold, so it took me some time to clean it before being able to use it. The room is not that big, because there is a lot of big furniture inside which you cannot use. There are only one small outdoor table, one outdoor chair, and one wardrobe you can use. The rest is decoration. The bed is ok if you sleep on the left side, on the right side be ready for a backache. There is also a small fridge in the room but it is very noisy while working. Actually, the place is noisy. You can hear the neighbours of another flat, the noise of street (restaurants), and especially the trucks which are picking the trash in the street almost everyday at midnight.
The other three rooms are on long term renting. No real rules regarding the common area, or there are some but I was not told about them at the beginning. Be ready to be blamed by the flatmates if you are not zealous in throwing away the bins of the kitchen. So one advice, when you do it be sure to make it known. There is only one drying rack to share between the four rooms. For the kitchen too, the pictures do not match the reality. The kitchen is not well equipped (lack of plates, cooking knives). All the pans but one are very very old or unusable.That’s almost the same for the cooking pots.
No breakfast, coffee or tea available contrary to what is said in the description of the ad.
Regarding the owner I barely saw her, since she does not live in the flat. She does not speak English at all, so oral communication is not easy. Check-in was handled by a flatmate. Hopefully, the weather was not too cold because she limited our use of the heaters in the room for economic reasons (though I think the price of the room was actually quite expensive), while we could not use the heater in the kitchen and the corridor.
If you have no other choice, you can try for a few nights.
