First the positives: 1) a truly memorable and quirky apartment, 2) an amazing and vibrant neighborhood!, 3) a beautiful terrace, 4) delightful air conditioning on hot Rome days, 5) comfortable beds, and 6) friendly and responsive hosts with easy check-in and check-out.
There are a few reasons, however, why we can't rate this place 5 stars: 1) the bathroom area was not good--the shower/toilet are combined and a bit unpleasant and the Jacuzzi tub was not private and too dirty/complicated to use, and 2) there is a general lack of attention to detail--needs to be cleaned more thoroughly, many of the electric plugs did not work, etc.
Overall, however, we had a wonderful time in Rome! My favorite part? The free water fountains. Bring your own water bottle and drink from the heavens!
