3 couples stayed in this property for a weekend wedding. There were almost no options in the Rome area, so this was pretty much our only choice. While the reservation was easy to make, and the communication from the host was great, the property is not exactly as pictured online. The online listing shows a very quaint front porch with wicker chairs making the property look like a nice in-town location. Unfortunately, guests do not have access to the nice porch or that entrance at all. The entrance to the guest quarters is via a back alley, a chain link fence, and a pathway through a rough back yard-- it was an inner city location.
When we arrived, there were two large dogs in the yard, making us a bit uncertain about entering. The hostess came and called the dogs away, assuring us they were friendly. The walk to the back door involved passing a menacing pit bull in the yard next door-- we never felt at risk from him, but if you're not good with dogs, coming in at night with a dog barking loudly can be a bit unsettling.
Inside was clean but very cluttered with very dated and random decor. The pictures online are much less cluttered than what was actually there. Also, there was a very musty smell and the a/c upstairs really did not adequately cool the bedrooms. It was only in the low 80's when we were there, so I imagine it would have been unbearably hot in the bedrooms if it had been hotter outside. There was a strong cigarette smell, too, which seemed to come from next door.
The bedrooms were very small, had no doors, and the beds/pillows/etc. were of lesser quality than a typical hotel. The bathroom (only one, and it was on the second floor) was okay, but the shower was tiny and the shower head was only about 5 to 5 1/2 feet from the floor.
To get to the bathroom and bedrooms, you have to go up a very, very steep staircase-- not good for the old or injured.
Kitchen was well equipped and there was fresh half-and-half for the coffee.
Overall, I wish the listing had been more accurate to reality.
