Firstly, this was a small room in a shared condo. As an Anerican, the term "B&B" made me picture a hotel-like environment with breakfast (the listing said continental breakfast added for a surcharge - but no breakfast was offered during the weeklong stay).
As a shared living space, there is a hall with a callbox on it for people to buzz in. Unfortunately this happened several times late at night, once waking us at 1am the day we were due to travel home and really didn't want to be tired. Oh well.
Yes, the bathroom was private. However, the shower drain desperately needed to be snaked, as it nearly flooded about 3 minutes into the first shower. We took to shutting off the water when going to wash ourselves or our hair to prevent a mess.
We were provided about 1.5 rolls of toilet paper. We didn't want to bug them and thought we'd have the room cleaned after just the 1st day there, but we weren't always out of the room between 10am-11am (the timeframe to have the room cleaned), so we ended up having to buy our own toilet paper by about the 3rd day. Oops.
On the plus side, the air conditioner worked! But it leaked on the floor, so we had to use one of our only towels to dedicate it to soaking that up daily.
The TV didn't work, which was fine. We weren't there for TV.
We were charged 72 euros for the Rome city taxes, but we had already paid through Expedia. We weren't told about this in our communication with the property ahead of time. Unfortunate.
