This was my wife and my first visit to Rome. We picked a neighborhood away from the tourist areas because we had a friend living nearby. This worked fine for us and the neighborhood was great with metro, bus, and businesses all within 2 blocks. There is a large park nearby; 8 laps around the dirt/rock path = @5 km.
The listing is accurate. Check in was easy, but we would prefer the information beforehand instead of calling on arrival. Disappointingly, we found white towels on the shelf unfolded and some looked dirty/brown. Wet laundry was drying on the deck. There was no information on anything. This was all quite different from most of the other European airbnbs we have stayed at. The upholstery of the large sofas and the pillows need cleaning. The electric water heater (for tea) had plastic bits pour into the cup the first time we used it.
We appreciated the late October weather with no need for cooling or heating, and we kept windows open; surprisingly, there were no flies or mosquitos. This 8th floor apartment has nice views from the small balcony; it faces west. As the neighborhood is filled with apartment buildings, the street noise reverberates up. This was only annoying at night, and only really bad on a Friday night when a pub down the street had an outdoor rap performance with very loud microphones (but they quit at midnight). We did enjoy our stay, and with some TLC this apartment could be very appealing.
