Marco was relaxed and friendly. The apartment is well located and the rooms are a good size and had aircon which was brilliant. The toilet in the main bathroom has recently been converted to a "chemical toilet". This smelled whether we used it or not, so in the end we didn't even use that bathroom for showering. The apartment is worn with lots of scuff marks and a bit of damp in the main bedroom. We also had to wash the kitchen utensils before using them, as plates and forks still had bits of food stuck to them. Perhaps the previous renters hadn't cleaned them and that went unnoticed, but the floors were also very dusty. It is a very good price, and a good location and was mostly quiet at night, but the trade off is cleanliness and a tiny bathroom (especially if like us you can't handle the portaloo smell of the larger bathroom). The shutters in the bedroom are a life-saver keeping out noise and light. If tripping electricity and dirty feet from the floors and a smelly toilet aren't your thing, pay more and look elsewhere. But, if you're looking for a convenient place to stay (we walked to the Colosseum and to Barbarini from there) and all you need is aircon and the basics, this will work for you.
