The host is a great communicator and check-in process was flawless.
Traveled to Rome for the first time with a 2 year old.
The apartment is conveniently located to food, shops, train, and site seeing, but it is in a slightly dirty neighborhood - park nearby is closed, homeless sleep around the corner and urine and human feces on the street did not make this an ideal location for us.
Apartment itself needs a little rejuvenation, washer and fans are old and don't work well, the AC doesn't cool upstairs well (we traveled at the peak of heat in Aug), kitchen is not as well appointed as our needs required (no spatula to flip eggs as an example). The tub upstairs could not be used other than to shower as it leaked a LOT of water from the floor every-time you were to empty it.
If we were to travel to Rome again we would not stay in this apartment unless significant changes were made, but we would stay with this host again.
