there are pros and cons to this apartment. It is a spacious space and the terrace is nice. The kitchen is well equipped.

However, pray that your stay goes without issues because that is when you are in trouble. The problem we encountered did not get resolved during our stay, unfortunately. The owner is savvy and knows what to say to manipulate the Airbnb system.

As we arrived, the host informed us that the AC "just broke down." We are in Rome during the summer with high temperatures traveling with three generations (elderly and children). The hostess told us this is "not her job." She seemed irritated when we called her to tell her that the auxiliary AC unit also was not working. Refused to come in to try to address the issue, even. Came in another day, at 9:30 pm on a Sunday at her convenience. Would come in during the day and leave us notes reprimanding us for accidentally leaving a light on. There are security cameras throughout the apartment which made us very uncomfortable.

A property manager's job is to handle these issues. That way the owner is not inconvenienced, and the travelers' trip is not ruined.
