The apartment was nicely located but everything has been said about that so here is our review about the place itself:
First, we wouldn’t recommend it in the winter time: we had a heat and hot water problem and had to turn it on from the upstairs’ terrace pretty much every two hours - not pleasant at night and in the early morning, in the cold as Rome is a cold city in the winter. Not that we didn’t know it but we would have enjoyed our stay better with consistent warmth and not having to spend two nights with clothes on in bed - A/C wouldn’t fix anything. When contacting the host pretty much right away as it turned quickly as an inconvenience we had to wait for a whole day for an answer and they finally fixed it but this came another day later, then half our time in the place (we stayed from the 2nd to the 6th of January, warned them in the morning of the 3rd and they only came on the 4th in the afternoon...) Before coming to address the problem, the host offered a discount over the phone but that has not been fulfilled. In our further exchanges via emails the host offered for us to move in the apartment next door until the problem can be fixed but we declined, not being assured the heating problem wouldn’t exist since it’s the same building.
We would say it was pricey for the season regarding that heating problem that former guests had already complained about, and that it’s probably better in the spring or fall when you can go to the terrace. We would also say the furniture needs refreshing (an old convertible couch squeaking, an armchair with probably a hole in it, a chest which is out of any use and nothing to dry the clothes on though there is a washing machine.) - something else someone in the reviews already mentioned a while back so it seems this hasn’t been addressed promptly either.
There may also be safety issues regarding theft as we were told to keep the shutters closed when we are not there to avoid people from getting in as they may climb and access the terrace:/
In our opinion, it looks like not much efforts are put in the place because of its highly touristy location - at least for winter time.
