When I entrered the apartment I was taken back to 30-40 years when I was sharing a house with other young people. that indescribeable smell that is difficult to put a finger on and the caotic decor.
Good: large room and en suite, comfortable bed. nice friendly host. quiet area, no noise from road below. nice view from room window - you can see bits of central rome. Excellent transport to/from rome centre and handy for Trastevere station and connections to both airports.
Not so good: i choose this accommodation as a non smoking one from the BnB posting. despite the fact that the 'rule of the house' are to smoke outside on the terrace the owner's daughter and friends smoked inside in the kitchen and left ashtrays full of cigarettes butts that stank the kitchen and living room/entrance. As a non smoker I find this very annoying to say the least.
The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/(living room) could do with a good, deep spring cleaning and kept it up regularly.
It's a shame they let this place down as it could be a real little treasure with just some regular cleaning and TLC.
