Angela was a very gracious host, and if it had not been for the construction (see below), it would have been a nice apartment had we been a couple with kids instead of three single adults looking to have the privacy and comfort of our own rooms.

We were disappointed with the apartment due to the fact it had only two bedrooms, not the three that the listing originally mentioned. Although this appeared to be a mistake on the host's part and the listing has since been corrected, it really made our stay far less enjoyable. But what almost ruined our vacation completely was the massive construction that was going on in the unit directly below us. At 8AM each morning, we were awoken to the sound of jackhammers and drilling, which lasted until nearly 4PM. Airbnb was unable to place us elsewhere, as all of Rome — including every hotel we called — was booked solid due to a special event by the Pope, so we had to suck it up for the entire trip. We were also unhappy to find that the beds in the second bedroom were nothing more than narrow cots with thin mattresses (okay for kids, but not very comfortable for grown adults looking for a good night's sleep), and the traffic noise from the street was also quite loud, even at 1AM. I'm sure the noise is no worse than anywhere else in the city, but the listing described the apartment as "really quiet," which it was not. Also note that there is no oven in the unit and the Wi-Fi connection is unreliable.
