Stefano is a very kind person and he helped us get from the train station to his house, and gave us snacks and other things we needed which we really appreciated. None of the following issues are his fault personally, and I know he did his best to ensure we had a nice stay. First, the guest toilet in his house did not work at all (we were unable to completely flush the entire time we stayed there). The shower area was a bit dirty and had some mold, which seemed to be the result of a very old building in need of a deep clean. Other guests in the house left a huge mess in the shared bathroom one night which we had to clean up (Stefano was very kind and understanding about this). There were broken ceramic tiles on the bedroom floor which would pop out if stepped on, posing a safety hazard. The metal window blind was extremely rusty and very loud so we didn’t move it much which made it hard to get any ventilation in the hot summer weather. The apartment is also nearly a mile from the nearest metro station (it took us about 20 min to walk there). And finally, the neighborhood seems pretty safe but is full of trash and animal waste and is not close to many stores or restaurants. Again, none of this is Stefano’s fault but it did unfortunately impact our stay in Rome.
