We probably didn’t take enough time to read other reviews before booking this apartment, but I think it is worth noting that this seems to be a newish air bnb and perhaps hosts.
As others have commented, the hosts are quite focused on the €30 cleaning fee. In the end they asked us to pay it through air bnb, presumably because they couldn’t meet us. To be fair though, the apartment is very clean (although the glass lampshades need dusting!). Hopefully this is just a settling period and the hosts will become less worried about this the more good guests they have.
Mercifully we did not have any issues with the shower others had!
The apartment is well located in relation to some vibrant restaurants and attractions like the Colosseum and Forum. It is also close to both line A and B of the metro and to good bus links. If you haven’t been to Rome before, it is worth looking at buses if you don’t want to walk absolutely miles (the metro isn’t brilliantly connected to all the tourist spots) and it is also worth downloading the ticket app. The hosts might want to think about leaving that information for guests, if they don’t meet in person.
Yes, the street noise and light in the morning could be disruptive to sleep, but the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in in Italy! I also had ear plugs and so recommend them for light sleepers.
The hosts also have a good arrangement with the Café/bistro next door. The owners are very friendly and have a breakfast deal for people staying at Micasa. The food was good and we had a quick lunch there before leaving. They were also good enough to look after our bags after check out.
Hopefully over time the hosts will make a couple of small tweaks to the apartment and the way in which they communicate. I’d definitely consider staying here again on another trip to Rome.
