The location of this Airbnb can’t be beat!! Right next door to great coffee on one side, and delicious gelato on the other. It’s walking distance to everything— 5 min to Pantheon, 20 min to Colosseum, 20 to the Vatican, and everything in between. Delicious dinner is around the corner and a little grocery store is a 10 min walk. It was really excellent for these reasons! We would definitely stay here again.
We did encounter a few things we wish we would have known, and wanted to share:
The description says it’s a 1 bedroom apartment, but it’s really a studio apartment with a 1/2 screen between the beds. We are a family of 4 and were comfortable enough, but we were expecting an actual bedroom, not a studio.
There is air conditioning which is a MUST is summer, however, it isn’t a very strong air conditioner so be prepared for it to still be warm, just not hot. It was fine for us, but not for those who like it cool.
2 of the wooden shutters are rotted out so be advised that the morning light comes in early. There is no blackout situation.
They only provided 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people staying 3 nights/4 days. We were told to go buy our own toilet paper if we needed more, so be prepared for that. We wondered if this was common in Italy, but we stayed in several other airbnbs and were given more toilet paper for fewer nights.
They ask you to separate your trash into 4 categories. This wasn’t a big deal for us as we already do this, but for those who aren’t used to separating trash, it might be a surprise.
One more thing— for those who are driving a car, this apartment is located in the ZTL. This means you will get a fine if you drive it during most hours of the day. We ended up finding a garage outside of the ZTL and getting a taxi to and from the garage when we needed the car.
