First the good things. The apartment is beautiful, the view and the location is great, the price reasonable. It is in a great neighbourhood, out of the tourist hub, but still in a convenient location if you don't mind taking the super efficient Roman underground. I found it relief to escape the hubbub of the crowds and come back to a local neighbourhood, with friendly, down to earth people. It's close to shops bars, restaurants and, marvellously, the Appian Way. Nicola recommended good bars and restaurants etc, but the experience lacked the human touch. I would have appreciated it Nicola himself had been there to hand over the keys rather than the cleaner, charming as he was. One goes to Airbnb for the contact of a local person rather than a feeling of someone renting out apartments. Putting a face to a name and having a brief chat and going over details makes a huge difference to one's stay. The steep flights of stairs were a killer, after a long and exhausting overseas flight with luggage. The place lacks the personal touch of a host who is attentive and hands on. There is no proper storage for clothes for example. The kitchen was under equipped. The bathroom was unacceptable. Blocked shower drain, old shower with low pressure, no proper cubicle just an old curtain. No plug in the basin, loose toilet seat, a cistern that ran all night, broken bathroom door, and a safe that did not work. The impression I got was was of an absent host. Pity because the location is wonderful, and the apartment is lovely.
