Due to a lack of communication and unclean/faulty amenities, we would not recommend this vrbo. A “host fee” almost as much as the reservation itself in addition to poor communication of vital info made this stay bad. We were in Rome during an extreme heat wave of 100 degrees. The site listing claimed AC, but 2 days before our stay, we were notified of a restriction the limited us to running two major appliances at a time. This resulted in having to run only run 2/3 of the AC’s in the house , and that’s if no other appliances are running, leaving us to sleep in 85+ degree rooms.
When we entered the apartment it smelled pungent due to the city’s water system and heat. Although the host could not prevent this, we were not notified prior to the cancellation and someone had to come clean.
We were also disappointed by a kitchen with ants and a shower that was unclean and unfinished. The tub had missing tiles and many spots of mildew. The main bathroom shower was practically broken unless you jerry rig it.
The host also failed to inform us that the sofa bed was broken and completely switched it out from the one displayed on the listing, resulting in one of our family members having to instead sleep on a small couch.
Had we known about the uncleared shower, faulty air conditioning, ants, and bad hosting, amongst other problems, we would have never booked this.
The only saving grace of this property is that it is in a perfect location. Will come back but not here.
