Home in Rome will try to accommodate an earlier arrival and a later departure based on availability. Please note a supplementary fee may apply. Please note that we do not accommodate in-person arrivals after 20.00.
Based on the guest’s arrival details, including flight or train number, which must be provided no less than 5 days prior to arrival, the guest will be provided a check-in appointment time directly at the apartment. Please respect the provided appointment time as it has been organized based availability, the arrival details provided and our other already scheduled appointments.
It is the guest’s responsibility to update Home in Rome of any delays including changes in airport or train station arrival time, luggage claim problems, transportation issues, etc. Failure to provide at least one-hour notice of any delay will result in an additional check-in charge of 25,00€. In addition, the guest must contact Home in Rome directly to reschedule the check-in appointment based on our already scheduled appointments and commitments. A few days prior to the arrival, the guest will receive a check-in reminder email with all the details and contact information for the appointment.
