We had a very good experience at this apartment. I would definitely stay here again. I'll outline the good aspects and potential issues:

- The location could not be better. It is right off the Pantheon Square. I'm not sure if it is clear or not from the apartment description, but the picture of the Pantheon in the listing is from the living room window. You can see the Pantheon and Sqauare from the apartment. Amazing location - close to all the major sites in Rome.

- Chiara's communication was great. She responded quickly with good answers.

- Chiara was very welcoming, and even had some wine/snacks waiting for us.

- The common living space was great and was very comfortable. The apartment was very clean and well maintained.

- Just one more time, I can't stress enough just how great the location of this apartment is. We could pretty much walk to most of the sites we wanted to see.

- The biggest negative for me is that the host requires a 300 Euro security deposit in CASH when you check-in. I do understand the need for a security deposit, however, since it is required in cash, I left Rome with 300 euro in my pocket. That's fine if you live in the EU or are going to another location in the EU, but for those flying out of the EU, you'll have to exchange the cash and lose money on the transaction. It would be better if the deposit was held on the credit card and then released when the apartment was clear. There was also no receipt given for the cash, so it was a little concerning that I had no proof that I provided the cash. It wasn't a problem, though, as it was returned when we left.

- The downstairs bedroom is a decent size, but the upstairs bedrooms are a little cramped. Not a big problem, but just mentioning it. We would still definitely stay here again.

- Lastly, this is minor, but even through we paid a cleaning fee, we were required to collect all the garbage in the apartment and take it out of the apartment with us when we left. I thought this was a bit odd since there is a cleaning fee in the price. Again, not a deal-breaker - we'd definitely stay here in the future - but just something that struck me as a bit odd and one thing we needed to take care of before we left.
