The flat is in a fabulous location near Colloseum, Trevestere, museums, basilicas and more. Restaurants are down every (narrow) street or walkway and grocery store is a 3 minute walk (Pam’s). Bus tours and Hop on Hop off are just a block away, and taxi’s (mytaxi app) found us easily- just off the beaten path yet quiet and near so much. We liked the ancient-type apartment building giving us a feel for old Roma and you enter the building into an atrium with a step down into apartment. Windows are street level and unit feels below ground. If the walls could talk!
We really felt part of the community in this neighborhood. You get to experience Italian living. The apartment unit itself has a spacious living room and small kitchen plus bath with shower and laundry combination on main level. Clean linens and towels.
KItchen was equipped well enough. A few pods of coffee for nespresso machine and plenty of toilet paper. You will need salt, pepper, and other personal items.
As the host has made clear, the upper level is a challenge and not for the elderly or young children. It is spiral, narrow and may not be accessible to someone. We left our luggage on main level because there was no real “safe” way to get upstairs. It was okay doing it this way for us.
Bedrooms have alot of closet space and very roomy but could not get the luggage upstairs. Beds were comfortable (firm), pillows were good and linens clean. The upper loft bedroom glass is lovely but the light from the lower level lighting goes right into that room and was annoying for the sleeper as well as the guests who were downstairs on main level.
Communication with Lele was good but not as quickly as we had at other airbnb’s. Also, the person that checked us in did NOT have any euro for change for the city tax and so make sure you have the correct amount.
All in all enjoyed the stay.
