There are pluses and minuses on this apartment. The location is very good - close to attractions and transit routes. The size of the unit is smaller than the impression the pictures give (but still manageable if you are not a large person(s)). Giovanni is the "greeter" on Tom's behalf and he is terrific - a very welcoming, lovely guy and he took care of a repair issue quickly (shower drain was plugged and filled up like a pool). Hot water tank only holds 15 litres so take short showers if there are two of you. We liked the large windows for light. Take earplugs as you are in the city centre. The washing machine that was listed as a feature of the apartment was not working and there was no mention of taking care of it so don't plan on that convenience. When we requested arrival directions, the host gave "advice" that it would be best to have him arrange a private transfer from the airport to the apartment. We felt transit would be a no-brainer with the apartment right in the centre of Rome and indeed it was. Not sure why public transit is discouraged by the host - we found that unusual and misleading. Another smaller, but unsettling, detail is that there is no apparent fire escape route information posted anywhere and we were on the fourth floor with only one central, very narrow stairwell option to exit - rules in Rome must be different. In summary, this was a convenient and affordable option - just be aware what you are getting.
