Celeste was a very good host. She kept in touch whenever was necessary and we were met on time to let us into the flat. Her husband was extremely efficient in showing us around the property and informed us of anything we needed to know. The location of the property is perfect. A beautiful street 2 minutes from the Spanish Steps with a few bars and great little restaurants.
It's difficult to say negatives as their hosting skills were faultless but the flat really does need a refresh. Although the flat is clean it just seemed a bit run down. It needs a lick of paint and the bathroom needs to be redone. I also felt that the bed was extremely uncomfortable and basic. Two very thin cheap pillows and one thin sheet. There are extras in a cupboard but there weren't any covers for them. Sadly, there is also a lack of natural light in the apartment. One wasn't aware of the weather outside or day/night as there is only one small back door to a patio that is covered. A big bright open window would have been perfect.
All in all I think I would stay in a hotel next time I visit Rome. We had to drop our luggage off at the train station as we couldn't leave it at the apartment for the day so Sunday was a bit stressful.
