Finally in Rome

The host, Valentina, was very kind and accommodating. The apartment itself was very nice, clean, and in a good, generally quiet location, despite being streetfront. There is a small grocery store just a block up on the other side of the street and there is a very nice cafe/pastry shop next door. Nice neighborhood!

Upon arrival, we sat out front in the heat and sun for almost an hour awaiting apartment entry instructions, it would have been good to get the entry instructions before we arrived versus having to wait in the heat outside with our luggage. I had tried to reach the owner through the app, directly via text, and via the building owner, it turned out she was at work and was unable to respond for that hour. Also, the toilet tank in the back bedroom made screaming noises about every 40 minutes due to some water pipe issue in the tank on the upper wall. We didn't sleep well because of that issue. I did share the issue with Valentina but it was not resolved, we just had to keep getting up in the middle of the night and jiggling the handle on the toilet. Finally, there is no AC in the main common area or in the third bedroom, so we had to leave the doors open to the other two bedrooms to get air to the rest of the apartment, and it just happened to be a very hot night in Rome on June 7th. The door locks on the apartment itself were a bit of a challenge, took some getting used to, but we finally figured it out. ;-) Valentina was great and the apartment itself is very nice, just needs a little bit of updating (AC in third bedroom, fix back bedroom toilet) to make it perfect!

Todo en general

Todo bien

It was walkable to the Vatican. Many close restaurants and markets for meals.

No one to meet us on arrival. Only contact with owner was through text on What’s App. Had to figure out much on our own. Toilet in middle bathroom makes horrible noises. Seating uncomfortable in dining area.

Faculties were great. Local amenities were great. Fantastic restaurants, market, shops and cafes in close proximity. Bus routes direct to town. Lift to accommodation was super and rooms were clean and comfortable. Very happy with our short stay.
