The location of the flat was perfect. Close to bars, restaurants and night life.
The sleeping loft gets HOT. Very hot. Turning off the heat helps but it leaves the rest of the apartment very cold. There is no fan to circulate the air outside of the heating/air unit which did not appear to work that well.
If you stay there be sure to have your driver drop you at the top of the street and not at the bottom of a very long natural staircase to the top of the alley where the apartment is located. It will save some trouble lugging bags up from the street.
The check in process was very easy and pleasant. Joel who checked us in was very friendly and nice. English was not great but passable. Be prepared to pay cash for a separate tax when you check in. It was less than $10 a day but you will need local currency for this.
Host communication overall was not great. We locked ourselves out of the apartment (totally our fault) but the host did not respond to our call nor our email for assistance and did not provide us access to the apartment until 930 am the next morning, and that was through the property manager Joel. This was surprising and we were forced to pay for a separate hotel that night because we couldn’t reach our host for help. Not as responsive as we would have expected as we have stayed in many Airbnb’s with no issues whatsoever.
Overall a nicely located flat and we loved our first trip to Rome. Had the responsiveness and the sleeping temperature been better we would have given 5 stars.
