Barberini Terrace Boutique Apartment

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : Location was great.
  : The stairs to the second bedroom were dangerous. Low roofline in second bedroom also made it impossible for adults sleep in. One couple had to sleep on pullout couch for the 3 nights. Also only had 1 shower.

Good
Traveller Type:
  : the location was fantastic. It is within easy walking distance of most of the major sites. We even walked to Stadio Olimpico to watch the rugby.
  : The facilities need to be updated. The hot water system is scalding hot. The coffee machine didnt work.

Wonderful

  : The views, the space itself was great for a family if 4 to be able to spread out. Two toilets . The balcony was beautiful. Lovely spot to watch roman life from.
  : The second room is not suitable for very young children

  : The location was honestly excellent, you could not wish for better!! The apartment was secure and spacious. We loved being so close to all the popular tourist sites and so close to the metro station.
  : The photos shown on Booking.com were not a true reflection of the apartment. The apartment has got so much potential and with a few little extra touches the apartment could be absolutely fantastic. We battled to locate the apartment in Piazza Barberini (we were looking around Via Veneto) but thankfully the owner met us and showed us how to get into the flat (we were very grateful for that).

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : The location of the flat is perfect
  : Heating inside was awful. Air conditioners were old and very dirty, so weren't enough to warm up the flat. The one in the bedroom downstairs didn't function at all. TV in the livingroom didn't work. We couldn't reach the host after 9pm the day we arrived when we realised these problems. Next day the host wrote back only about the TV and didn't do anything.

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : absolutely nothing. the place was not even close to the description. Flithy dirty bathrooms. mold on the ceiling. no blankets for the beds. just sheets. requested extra bedding the next day and they told us we would get the following morning. I requested that I needed it for comfort that same day. they dropped off one blanket for 4 adults. we only stayed 3 nights
  : The kitchen sink was filthy. The wall paper was piling off. A cloth chair looked like it has a urine stain on it. The lamps in two of the rooms were torn. lite bulbs were burnt out. not replaced. used Xmas candles decor was burnt and old. the curtains were stained. the upstairs was a loft with twin beds not a queen size. could not sleep up there because the air conditioner leaked and we didnt want to chance slipping down. very narrow stairs and no rail. only one TV. two were in the pictured descriptions. horrible lighting in all rooms. shower head needed replacing , sprayed water all over the floor. check in was not until 5 but was still not ready by 6. still cleaning. this place is a disaster. Booking.com really dropped the ball at this location. I will be disputing this charge. they get a 1 rating due to the location.

  : This apartment is in a fantastic location. The owners kept in touch & the picking up & dropping off of the keys was very straightforward (we arrived quite late)
  : We travelled as a group of 3 adults & specifically booked this apartment as it was deemed to have 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. However, there is a WC & wash basin only en suite to the main bedroom with a separate very small bathroom with a shower cubicle. We expected 2 bathrooms would mean 2 full bathrooms with showers. The shower is very poor, hardly any water pressure & the cubicle was generally not that clean. The mezzanine bedroom has very little storage & the stairs up to it are not very safe if travelling with younger children as there is no handrail & they curve up. We did not think the kitchen was particularly clean either & opted not to cook or eat anything at all in the apartment. There were a lot of little black flies in the apartment all the time we were there. Unfortunately the reality of the apartment does not match the photos in terms of the kitchen & bathroom so we felt that what we paid for this apartment was not good value for money. We will not stay here again.

Fair

  : good
  : staff hard to contact and made it stressful when asking for photo of credit card. This is not right . Despite many attempts at contact by us and booking.com staff they did not respond to the end.
