Good Basic Accommodations in Central Rome
Our family spent a few nights in this property at the outset of our vacation. The property was good overall but very basic. There was a lack of overall supplies that we have become accustomed to at other VRBOs we have rented. Paper towels, hand towels, dish towels, hand soaps etc. were lacking. We worried about running out of toilet paper for our two-night stay. A little more would have gone a long way.
The hot water in the shower was only warm at best, and the AC took the edge off the heat but didn't cool the unit as one would normally expect. (Outside temperatures were in the mid-30s C in fairness) There was a laundry machine but no dryer which precluded us from doing laundry.
The check-in process was manual and we had to wait 15 minutes outside to meet a property representative, but they were very helpful and nice when they arrived. Automation would be nice but likely very difficult given the age and nature of the building. The stairs to the unit were difficult with luggage, I would not recommend it for someone with limited fitness although the unit's representative was more than happy to assist. The pullout couch could be replaced with something a bit more comfortable.
The location was excellent and the unit served our needs while in Rome. A few little extras from the host would go a long way. This unit is ultimately a question of value and price. If it's price competitive for basic accommodations then it may be a good option.
