This was our first time using Airbnb so we were a little apprehensive, but all our worries were put aside once we got to the apartment. There was great communication before arrival and our host was waiting for us upon arrival. The apartment is just as described and the pictures are accurate. This was a perfect space for my family of five. Plenty of room and privacy for all. Anymore than seven people and you might find it a little cramped.
We were given a tour of the apartment and shown how to operate the thermostat. Did I mention heated floors?!? The kitchen was adequate with a gas stove and fairly large refrigerator which we stocked with items from the grocery store just a block away.
The bedrooms are a good size, with the last bedroom being huge! The beds are very firm which we enjoyed. Lots of closet space in all the rooms and great window views. I forgot to mention the little balcony off the living room that overlooks the main street.
One bathroom has a very tight shower, but worked good four our kids to use. The other has a regular shower and a huge soaking tub. it is not jetted. The kids used it once, but honestly I hated to waste so much water filling it up.
A washing machine is outside overlooking the courtyard. it is small but works fine. There is only one t.v., but it does get some English speaking channels.
The location is perfect. 10 minute walk to the Vatican, 15 to the Pantheon and Camp DiFiore. Many restaurants nearby and a decent grocery store a block away. Bus stops within a block of the apartment although we took a taxi or walked most places.
The only negative is the sound from the nearby street. It is situated on a busy street and a nearby hospital. Sirens can be heard all day and all night. The windows are not sealed well enough to block the noise from the sirens, motorcycles, or rowdy people walking the street. The noise woke us up a few times, but we managed. If you are a lite sleeper, I would not recommend staying here. Other than that, it was a great apartment and would recommend it to friends and family.
