Our stay here was absolutely terrible. The air conditioning was not working and the apartment is on the top floor. It was hotter inside the apartment than outside, and we stayed there in August. We could not sit still without sweating and trying to sleep in what was basically a sauna was impossible. We were unable to get the host to repair it, or even offer to get us a fan or any type of relief.
Additionally, the drains in the plumbing were backed up so you could not take a quick shower without water overflowing onto the bathroom floor. Again, we tried to get this issue resolved but there was almost no communication from the host about either issue.
It wasn't all bad - they did agree to meet us there early to drop off our luggage which we appreciated. However when we got there the previous visitors were still there (over an hour past checkout) and were smoking in the apartment, and that smell was tough to get rid of.
I wish I could give a better review of this apartment because the inside was fairly nice and the location was good. It was a convenient neighborhood close to the Colloseum and restaurants and shops.
A little communication would have gone a long way here, and I felt like this put a real dark spot on what otherwise was a wonderful trip to Rome.
