1. Positives:
Lovely, modern apartment, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and great location, though not situated where stated at the Spanish Steps. Very clean and well designed. Masses of wardrobe space.
Michelle who met us at the apartment was very helpful.
Federico organised a taxi for us from the airport.
2. Negatives:
Noise is the biggest problem: street very noisy with traffic and pedestrians. Hotel opposite use street for cigarette breaks. Huge issue with neighbours in the apartment above, who woke us up nearly every night in the early hours (anytime between 1am and 5am) walking on their solid floor in heavy shoes, plus, their dog scampering up and down. Underground noise is intrusive between 6am and midnight as the underground goes directly underneath this ground floor apartment. Construction work is also being undertaken three doors down on the opposite side of this quite narrow street.
Heating unit totally inadequate: barely kept the apartment warm. No written instructions, and very noisy.
Hot water insufficient for two consecutive showers.
Towels were thin and of cheap quality, and inadequate for two adults for seven nights stay.
Shower cubicle is totally exposed to the apartment, so little or no privacy. Toilet has weird setup, which also is not very private.
Very expenses for what is only a bed sit, Federico needs to revise his pricing down in view of the facilities and features of the apartment which is certainly style over substance. Wouldn't stay again for half the price.
Also, budget for an extra 3.50€ per night, per person in taxes, which isn't mentioned in the extra costs.
