The apartment itself was nice - pretty comfortable bed although structurally it had problems. We liked the kitchen. The dog was adorable, friendly, & my favorite addition. It was infested with mosquitos more so than I felt the rest of Rome was. There must be water on the property. Not sure. I was hesitant to stay outside. But we got bitten all over & it was impossible to keep them out of the rooms. The pharmacy up the hill sold us some bug spray which helped. Our host was friendly and a nice list of tips were left although outdated (we couldn’t find 2 places that were listed & the supermarket listed is out of business although there is one across the street). Our main disappointment was that our host said he’d have dinner with us which the listing mentions but didn’t during our 4-night stay. Not a big deal. Life happens. But overall, I wasn’t thrilled with the experience. Not worth the long commute. The constant swarm of mosquitos really got to me.
