Alice's place was exactly like the pictures shown. The location is great if you want to be walking distance from the colosseum. On the con side, there was no hot water during our stay. When I contacted the host, they did not come to take a look at it but simply told me she would contact the water company. This was inconvenient as the water was very cold and uncomfortable to shower. Another con, if you have luggage, there are about 8 flights of steps to go up to reach the apartment but we were aware of that from the posting.
