My wife and I stayed here for our Rome portion of our vacation.
After reading the reviews we notated that being taller could be an issue but moved forward anyway due to the great location and value for our booking.
Fast and detailed responses were great and allowed us a simple and quick check in process, which was greatly appreciated.
The one blip on our stay was due to some worn floorboards in the kitchen. Some are starting to come up and provided a small hazard. My wife ended up stubbing her foot on this and nearly broke one of her toes. Upon this realization we ended up placing a stool over the board to prevent further incident, but damage had been done and caused her mild pain the duration of our trip, which was lots of walking about. This thankfully didn’t derail our enjoyment of our trip but still should be noted and addressed. I forwarded my concern and an image to the host in hopes it’s quickly repaired for the next guests.
Overall the location is absolutely perfect and set us up for a quick 15-30 min walk to literally all of the big sites in Rome and Vatican City. The immediate area around the apartment had a ton of restaurants and bars for quick stops for a spritz and some pizza. The cute piazza outside the apartment has a great restaurant we enjoyed on our final night, ensure you make reservations as they were turning people away as they were full.
The apartment is well appointed but I’d say a couple would be ideal. The couches didn’t seem comfortable for sleeping. The A/C was only in the bedroom and did a good job keeping us cool, but expect the living room / kitchen to get a bit warmer during summer.
One thing to note is the apartment can get loud depending on time of day as the windows are older and don’t block out much noise. Not a problem for us as we sleep with white noise and the a/c running drowned out the remaining noise. Some will find this bothersome but you are right in the thick of it.
Lastly another word of caution on low ceilings, mainly in the shower. If you are taller than 5’5” ish there is a low ceiling in the shower than can cause potential hazard. My wife and I are both taller and had to be cognizant of the hazard as we showered to ensure we didn’t bash into the ceiling / low cutout. Manageable yes but not ideal.
Enjoy Rome and if you can overlook the above this is a great place. We’d probably consider renting here again should we return but are aware of some of this places quirks.
