Daniel’s apartment has a few pros and unfortunately, quite a few cons.
Pros: the bed was very comfortable, there was strong wifi, and it’s a spacious and quiet apartment that’s in a great neighborhood.
Cons:
- we were promised private parking to later be told we’d have to leave our car on the street (finding parking in Roma isn’t easy). The area he said we could park was always full and the gate to enter and exit was not something we had control over.
- the entrance to the apartment was covered in flies and reeked of rotting meat (likely from the store a few buildings down). Not something Daniel can control but an unfortunate part of the apartment experience.
- the apartment itself felt very dusty although it looked clean at a glance. After walking barefoot for a few minutes my feet were black with dirt.
- there was only one towel even though we were two people planning to stay a full week. The towel that was there looked like it could have been 10 years old and was extremely worn and stained.
- there was a water filter that we could use but unfortunately was not working properly.
We ended up cancelling our reservation intending to stay one more night but were told we had to get out right away because another guest was coming. I did not receive the prompt to leave a review until the next day which leads me to believe we should have been able to stay that night since we paid for it after all.
I can’t help but to believe my experience was not the norm. The rest of the reviews are fairly positive so I hope the state of the apartment was not what it normally is.
Either way, it’s walking distance from everything you’d want as a tourist or a remote worker if you want to be in the middle of a popular neighborhood.
