When we came there wasn’t much of a description, which now it seems they have one… so it’s a bit more accurate.
If you’re looking for fun, late night party spots, this is your place! It’s located on a very busy street that has lots of restaurants and gelato places open late - which was great for finding gelato at 1:00am after walking home from a soccer game. It’s also 10-15 minute walking from most of the major sites. It also has 2 bathrooms, which is always a plus. Claudia, the point person for this apartment, was super responsive, she waited an extra hour at the apartment because my flight was delayed. She responded within a few minutes every time I sent her a message! The WiFi is also the best I’ve experience abroad and in Rome. There was a jacuzzi in the loft bathroom which was nice, although the bathroom had a bit of a moldy smell the whole time and low ceiling.
However, there were a few downsides.
First and mostly importantly, the noise. It’s on a VERY Busy street with a karaoke bar right underneath and another very busy bar blasting music until 3:00am and people talking until 4:00am.
Luckily I had ear plugs from a recent Airbnb stay and that sort of helped drown out the noise. There’s also a pharmacy with a very bright strobe light across the street that projects “party lights” into the apartment the whole night.
The actual bed is upstairs in a loft and the ceiling is very low. They have pads in common areas where you might hit your head, which I appreciate, but be warned that you will be hunched over and potentially hitting your head at some point during your stay.
The washing machine wasn’t working, which they said should be fixed in the next week, so I appreciate them working to fix it, it just didn’t help me out on my stay. The apartment was on the first floor, but in Europe that means up some stairs, so be warned.
There was also a moldy smell in the upstairs bathroom and random times throughout the stay. I realize that’s common in order building, but it seems pretty strong here.
This place just wasn’t the right fit for us, while we did like being big close to things, we typically like having more intimacy and aren’t up as late (around 23-24) during our trips to rome, so take that into account when reading my review. If you’re someone in their early 20s (or any age!) who’s into partying into the late night and want to jacuzzi and go sleep in the early hours, this is a great place for you!
