Pros:
- Great host! Fabrizio helped to arrange car transport both to and from the airport, which really helped to make transportation easy. On our arrival, the driver met up with someone who works with Fabrizio to show us the apartment, as it is in a difficult space to find.
- Good location. This is smack downtown in the party area of Rome. Lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance. We walked everywhere - the walk to the Vatican was around 15/20 minutes and the walk to the Colosseum was 30/35 minutes. But it's a great walk and you can see more of Rome! Close to other cute locations as well.
Cons:
- SO LOUD. We stayed here over the weekend and it is incredibly loud. While the location is good, it's important to note that this is in a party, downtown area. Lots of people drinking and partying on the weekend - talking, laughing, music playing, etc. It sounded like they were in our living room, it was so loud. On one night, some drunk guy was yelling right outside our place at 2 am. If you are looking for a place that is close to the party area, then this is the place for you. But not ideal for those who appreciate their sleep. (Sunday night was the quietest night, so I'm guessing it's mainly loud on Friday/Saturday.)
- Small place. This didn't bother us as we weren't really there during the day, but it is smaller than it looks like in the photos. Bathroom is tiny.
The other thing to mention is this is in downtown Rome where everything is covered in graffiti. You get used to it after awhile but it's pretty surprising when you first get there - most of downtown Rome is like that. Also, the WiFi is a hotspot (like they have a phone plugged in there where you connect to their hotspot). It worked fine for us but good to note in case anyone needs it for work, then it may not be sufficient.
