Unfortunately, my husband and I did not have the best experience at this apartment. Since we traveled to Rome from Phoenix, AZ when I was six-months pregnant (which was disclosed to the hosts in my first email), the only requisite for our apartment was air-conditioning. Although the listing states the apartment has air-conditioning, the small room unit in the living room requires the window to be open, which allows the hot humid air back into the apartment. Sadly, the beautiful Pantheon view was completely obfuscated because we had to keep the blinds shut at all hours (to try and keep the hot air out). My husband and I slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room because the bedroom had no air circulation and was virtually uninhabitable. If we would have known about the poor air-conditioning situation, we would have selected another apartment in the vicinity. Being from Phoenix, we are accustomed to heat, but this was an extremely uncomfortable living situation, especially at six-months pregnant.
On the positive side, the location is great - right in the middle of historic Rome. I only took freezing cold showers to combat the heat, but the water pressure seemed good and the bathroom was nice. Some previous reviewers commented on noise, which wasn't a problem for us. We slept with the windows open to catch any possible breeze, but the sounds from the Pantheon plaza created a pleasant background murmur that didn't bother us.
Overall, this would be a great apartment in the winter and fall. The apartment listing description should have mentioned the air conditioning situation in greater detail because I feel like we were misled and paid for a stated amenity that wasn't available.
