The Good: Max dragged our heavy suitcases up the MANY flights of stairs and showed us everything about the apartment and gave us recommendations for the area. It seemed like they are really on top of the process. The view is really just unbelievable. Waking up in the morning and looking out the window to see the massive Pantheon RIGHT NEXT TO YOU is a super unique experience that I will always treasure.
The place is decorated cute and there are lots of dishes and cute things to use.
I had an unexpected 3rd person join us and Max had sheets delivered for the fold out couch which was really nice!
The not so good: if you are large or not in good shape this is not the place for you. The doorways are small and the stairs are MANY. The ceiling is low in some places and I was always worried I would hit my head if I had shoes on. I’m 5’10”.
The shower is so small that when you turn it on, it sprays water everywhere no mater what you do and you can see that it’s affecting the ceiling.
It’s very hot up there in the summer. Even with an AC blasting and a fan, the windows are very old and there is no way to really keep the cool air in.
There is a loft in the kitchen that has a bunch of stuff kind of all over the place with a sign that says not to go up. I would have liked to not look at that every day, maybe if it was covered up it would be better? Or closed off on some way?
The beds were not very comfortable and the 3 of us were all a bit sore. The sheets were nice though.
The location is BUSY. There are performances, there are trucks and people and recycling noises and lines for the pantheon etc. So if you want quiet, this is not it. There was a violinist who played a few songs each day though and it felt like we were in a fairytale.
Bottom line. Stay here for a once in a lifetime experience, but only if you are in shape. It’s good for maybe 2-4 day stay!
Thanks Max!
