Appartement Fontanella Borghese

Clean, excellent location, all the facilities. Rather unpractical apartment though, the bedroom at one end, a long corridor which is the kitchen and lounge and the bathroom at the other end. The staff seemed in a hurry, interested in closing the deal, didn't spend much time in explaining things.

For the money, the actual apartment is small, poorly lit and badly ventilated - and apparently no coffee machine instructions - not a place for staying indoors or for a sofasleeper who'd mind sleeping in the kitchen en route to the bathroom with a fridge that sounds like a bronchitic pigeon..

Honey had a busy schedule on the day we arrived, so we had to wait a while. This is understandable. However, when we called him the day before our arrival to advise him that we would arrive between 1.30-2 pm (instead of 2.30 pm as written via internet), instead of telling us "no problem, you just call me half an hour before", he should have said that he could not make it before 2 pm then we would have arranged our trip differently as we were arriving by car and not by plane. Anyway, we appreciate that he tried to arrive at the apartment as soon as possible. We would definitely come back to the apartment!
