I’ve been to Rome a couple of times before and chose this flat for its location as I always liked the area. It’s within walking distance to many sights and of course there’s a plethora of restaurants at your doorstep. It also means that it can get quite loud outside, especially on weekends, as there’s a bar right next door.
Roberta was a lovely, thoughtful host, waited for us late into the evening, when our flight was delayed and let us stay beyond the check out time. There was a big bottle of Peroni in the fridge which was a nice touch.
The flat itself was rather quirky and tastefully decorated with a few old pieces which we liked. Because of how the windows are positioned, it is rather dark, even during the day so you’d need lights on. The bathroom had a very weak shower pressure when we were there which wasn’t very pleasant and there was some mould in the shower cubicle. There’s also some drains smell in the bathroom but I found that in other flats in central Rome too. Another downside was the wi-fi, which had poor signal, it didn’t reach the bedroom and often wasn’t connecting in the living area. I resorted to using my own data allowance.
Don’t forget to bring your own toiletries (although there’s a supermarket close by) and remember to bring cash to pay city tax upon check in.
