Overall, we would not choose to stay here again due to some issues that I will list below, however this is definitely a unique and centrally-located apartment with a lot of potential.
PROS;
- Fantastic location about 5 minutes walking distance from the Spanish Steps, and 8 minutes from the Trevi Fountain.
- Unique apartment layout, with a giant waterfall shower that is open to the entire apartment. Obviously a very romantic design for couples.
CONS:
- The dank smell that is listed in other reviews is definitely still very present in the apartment. The host will tell you to keep the window open to help air out the apartment, but the smell never truly leaves.
- There was constant construction happening on the building right next door throughout our stay, with a jackhammer waking us up every morning, and other noise going on until nightfall. Of course, this is not within the control of the hosts of the apartment, but I feel we should have been made aware of this issue prior to our arrival, as it severely affected our ability to sleep.
- Because of the constant construction noise, we were not able to keep the window open as often as we would have needed to to "air out the apartment", and therefore the musky smell was even more prominent than it otherwise would have been.
- The shower design and location is very cool, but functionally, it was a little less fun to use. The water only stays hot for about 5-10 minutes, and the drain is semi-clogged, so the water builds up to your ankles, and spills out onto the floor when you exit the shower, causing us to have to wipe the floor to avoid water damage every time we used it.
- As others have stated, the towels never get fully dry due to the humid environment in the apartment.
Overall, the apartment is unique, and we wanted to really like it as it was our last stay on our honeymoon trip, but the above issues were a significant factor in the quality of our stay, and for the price we felt it was not a good value.
