The apartment was advertised as newly decorated but it seemed run down and rather dirty. The shower was a tight squeeze and there was extensive black mould on the shower door/floor. The bed was made up of two single mattresses pushed together with a gap between, which was uncomfortable. The bedding didn’t have a proper duvet cover, which seemed unhygienic. The pull-out sofa bed was visibly dirty and stained, so we didn’t use it. We don’t feel the €30 cleaning fee charged on check-in is justified. On the other hand, the location was great, with several cafes/supermarkets and the Vatican within walking distance, and the neighbourhood felt decent and safe. We appreciated the friendly welcome and local tips we got for sightseeing. We feel it is important to provide an honest review of our experience for other travellers. If these issues are resolved for future guests, the apartment could make for a decent place to stay when visiting Rome.
