We visited David in January and had a lovely stay. We recommended it to friends whose parents loved him and his place as well. However, we now have a very different experience that is worse than finding e.g. a dirty place.... a closed door (despite confirmation the day before).
We booked in january for our parents to stay in at Roman Sky in May. We agreed to reconfirm one week before arrival, which we did. No reaction. We phoned several times, sms-ed several times, emailed... but NO reaction at all. As we didn't know what was going on (we were actually afraid that something bad had happended to David), we spent half a day looking for an alternative accomodation on Saturday. We found one, but that night we received an email that everything was fine and he had just been in the USA (don't they have email down there?). He told us everything was fine and that he would receive our parents at home in the afternoon Monday at 15.00. We cancelled the other appartment and our parents went happily to Rome.
Our parents (he knew they were almost seventy), arrived at 15.00 for a closed door. They called David on his mobile, asked the neighbour if they had seen him. We have called him many times... but no reaction. Our parents stayed at the next door neighbour for more than 3 hours.... and still no David (neither at the appartment, nor on the phone): what was meant to be a great relaxing holiday, caused significant stress to our parents. Now it is 21.00 in the evening, and still no sign of David.
Trust is key, especially when you go to a different place. You need to know what you can expect, especially on a vital thing as a place to stay. David is, unfortunately, NOT reliable. He offers a great service... if he is there. There are MANY other great placed in room with same value for money. This experience forces me to strongly recommend to try one of these other great place.
