Air conditioning in main living quarters not working - sweltering hot. Host unresponsive to me and VRBO reps who tried calling and emailing.
The gentleman who checks you in, told us the main AC unit was having problems and he would send over a repair man “Tomorrow.” The repair man never showed up. He also told us he would bring light bulbs for the burned out bulbs - never brought them.
Black MOLD in both showers. Broken shower sprays, broken toilet sprays, broken blinds, bathroom window didn’t close because the metal is warped, which let scorching hot heat into the apartment. Terrace filthy. Broken fountain.
Bathroom sink drained slow, kitchen sink would hardly drain, dishes in cupboards were dirty, so I had to rewash everything which was fine, except the kitchen was sweltering hot. It looks like a nice flat - but had way too many maintenance issues for the amount of money we paid.
Worst part was the host. She was angry, rude, and denied anything was wrong even though we submitted photos to VRBO while we were there. After the second day of no response from the owner, VRBO moved us to another property.
Also worth noting, it’s a small, tight, winding staircase that leads 5 stories high into the attic apartment - after walking around Rome all day, you may want to think twice about a roof top apartment. View not special.
By law a taxi from airport to the city center is 50 Euros (including van taxies) - host will offer you her driver for 75 Euros.
