Anyone deal with RentalInRome.com lately?
I sent an email from the site regarding renting a particular apartment. I sent it three days ago. I got an autoreply that someone from the Rental In Rome office would contact me shortly. But nada.
I know they are Italian, so "shortly" could mean a little longer there than here, but...
Has anyone had any issues lately renting from and/or getting timely correspondence from Rental In Rome?
Thanks!

This is the email address I have for them: [email protected]. They seem to have someone different working for them right now. He responded to me promptly.

We are renting from them in 8 days, our 2nd stay in one of their properties. Responses were pretty prompt.
One tiresome thing about this company, as with all rental properties I've rented in Rome: They expect you to have a cell phone, to contact their agent when you arrive in the city and fine-tune your rendezvous.
I told them we have no cell phone and they agreed to a fixed rendezvous time. We'll see how that goes: those agents are low-paid staff and have little incentive to be prompt.
They do offer an airport transfer with driver, which means the driver does the communicating with the agent. We may just indulge ourselves this trip - it's 50 E for 2.

Just a follow up fyi- they finally responded after 3 days; I guess they had to get ahold of the apartment owner to find out if I could bring my 2 cats.
Alas, the owner said no.
The bright side is that R-in-R replied with a list of other available apartments that have accepted animals in the past.
I picked one in Trastevere and they quickly replied that they had contacted that owner and they said ok to the cats, but to please try to keep them from clawing the sofa.
I replied that the cats would be no problem- they are 13. One has no front claws, the other only has 3 legs. They will probably spend most of their time under the bed sleeping! hahaha
So, good results after all from Rental in Rome! And serendipity for me, as this second apartment looks even more awesome than the one I originally chose!
