I have used AirBnb a lot in this last two weeks and have found my self coming away from each experience with a 'I would have liked to have known that before hand' list.
Firstly, let me say that we found this apartment very clean and in the most amazing location. Right in the heart of the history. We loved popping next door to get pasta carry out for lunch (5 euro) and round the corner for croissants in the morning. All the sites were well within walking distance with Piazza Navona 5 mins walk away.
So lots to love about this place and I will say now that for 10 months of the year it would be the best value for money in Rome.
What did I wish I knew?
The house is in the ZTL and in the process of finding a parking spot I crossed into the zone and will be fined up to $100.
Finding a Parking spot on the street is well nigh impossible so parking at the new excellent multistory lot was safe but will cost $30 a day and is a 15 minute walk with luggage.
Thirdly, there is no AC. I knew this but other posts said it was fine because the breeze cooled the house in the evening. This may be true for most of the year but not August. Even with the two fans in the house we struggled and ended up leaving a day early.
The first two things are issues that are solvable and would not stop me going back. However, I would not return in summer as the heat in the house made it unpleasant for our family, admittedly coming from a place where we use AC through the summer months so we are probably spoiled.
