We couldn’t fault Simon, he was an excellent host. The flat was in a good location, 5 mins walk from the metro and a 10-15min walk to the colloseum. The pictures are a little outdated as the flat does not look as fresh as the images. We travelled in Jul/Aug and it was extremely hot. Unfortunately the flat had no air conditioning only fans. This was stated in the description but we realised after staying in this flat that air conditioning is now essential to us. We were uncomfortably hot at night, the fans weren't much help. The bedrooms also faced the road and because the flat is near a hospital the ambulances frequently drove along the road with the sirens at full blast. Because of the noise of the fans and the sirens outside, ear plugs are essential if you want to get any sleep. My advice to the owner is please fit air conditioning in the flat. We really didn’t relish the thought going back each evening after being hot all day in Rome knowing we were going to be swelteringly hot in the flat aswell. I feel bad writing this review because Simon was fantastic but I feel people need to be aware if they stay here in July or august. It would be perfect in autumn or winter but you would still need ear plugs because of the ambulance sirens.
