Apartment Rentals Rome Italy: possible information to confirm with your Rome vacation rentals agent:

• Air conditioning in Summer months! Rome can get really hot during summer with little breeze blowing through the centre. Most Rome vacation rentals have them but do you want to be the one without?

• Heat in Winter? December, January and February can chill the most fanatical Rome tourists too. Do check whether your apartment has heating. Who controls the heating? In many apartment blocks in Rome the heating is 'regulated', i.e. not controlled by the individual apartments but rather by the "building" and comes on twice a day - mornings and evenings.

Reserve a quiet apartment, and if possible, a flat not facing any busy streets (although quiet apartments in Rome are like gold.)

How complete are the cooking facilities?

Is there enough light in the apartment?

If you need a land line check that the apartment has one.

If yours is a late flight are there extra charges for meet up after hours?

How often are the apartments maintained/cleaned?

NB: How far is the apartment from the rental agent's office?

Do you meet at the apartment or the rental agent's office? (You'll be surprised how many times folks think they're meeting at the apartment when instead they meet at the office.)

If you have to meet at the office will the agent supply you with transport to the apartment.

Finally, ask the agent to confirm all of your enquiries, and information not on their web site, in writing!
