The location of the apartment is perfect.
When we walked in, the room was very musty. We think this was due to the heat in Rome and lack of windows in the apartment.
The walls were a little bit scuffed and beat up.
When the woman showed us in, she showed us how to empty the dehumidifier- there was mold inside the holding tank.
After she left, we thought about trying to change to a different apartment or hotel. But first we thought maybe we should give it a chance. so we turned on the air conditioner and went out to by some room spray.
We found a different blanket in the closet that did not smell musty and changed the bedding.
We sprayed the room and went out for a walk to hope, when retuned it would be better.
When we returned it was a bit better, but the musty smell was still present.
Because we were only there for a couple days with a busy schedule we decided to stay.
The shower does not drain enough, so you have to turn the shower off while you are washing your hair, let it drain, turn it on then rinse, turn it back off etc. the rest of the bathroom was great.
The bed was not bad, comfort wise.
We did not use the kitchen, but it seemed to have everything you need.
The couch did not appear as it did in the picture. It had been covered by a different fabric that seemed old.
The air conditioner leaked onto the couch, were we had our luggage.
Our host was great to communicate with. When we left he connected us with a ride to the airport. We really appreciated his help.
A good cleaning, some fresh air and a little maintenance would really turn this place around.
