Us: family of 4, stayed for 3 nights
Location: very convenient, half a block from the beautiful colosseum ruins, near several restaurants and fruit stands
Apartment: ample space and furnishings including 2 double beds + fold-down futon + spacious couch, could have fit a group of 7 comfortably. Many lights, windows opening straight onto the street, nice decor.
Host: Francesco does not speak much English and we do not speak much Italian so we mostly communicated with a couple of other people none of whose names I know. We were a little intimidated by The Note (see below) but passed it off as a cultural difference.
Amenities: Wifi, washroom, laundry machine (hang dry), full kitchen as advertised. However, be cautious turning on too many appliances/lights at the same time. We unknowingly overloaded the circuit almost immediately after we were left in the apartment. We were able to contact Francesco by phone and someone was sent to repair the problem, leaving a passionate Note warning us not to make the same mistake again.
Areas of improvement: The host's colleague was very late meeting us (we waited an hour and a half past the arranged meeting time). It was raining heavily but luckily we were able to follow someone else from the building into the vestibule.
Overall: Great value, wonderful apartment at a great location. Highly recommended for families and groups.
