The apartment is clean, well maintained. The location and proximity to the market and shops are advantages. We have had a great hostmaker - Marius. He was very helpful, friendly and responded quickly to reported problems.
The first day we didn’t have hot water, the stove and the elevator (3rd floor apartment) didn’t work due to a power failure in the building (probably). On one of our days we suddenly ran out of electricity throughout the apartment - at that time we used only 2 burners on the kitchen. Our dinner was partly prepared and partly not. After 1.5 hours the electricity has switched on automatically. After reporting this failure, the owner received a reply saying: "Remember you in Italy, the maximum capacity of power is very low, if you use too many devices together, it will go Off.
Please use only one powerful appliance at a time to avoid losing electricity." We haven’t met with any attempt to repair the electrical installation.
We do not know what it was caused. There was no air conditioning, door bell, lights or any other lighting, nor hot water. So it appears that in an apartment with three air conditioners you can use at most one at a time to avoid all failures.
Last day of our stay, for some of us, there was also no hot water. Marius showed us, at the beginning, what needs to be done to keep warm water, despite the actions taken, the warm water did not appear.
In one bathroom there is no ceiling and pipes are under repair, which the owner didn’t protect.
In conclusion - we recommend apartment due to:
1. location (near the metro, the Vatican);
2. general cleanliness;
3. capacity (5 people can fit easily).
We do not recommend if you are going to cook, use electricity, or have no electrical repair tools.
