Pros: This apartment is located at the edge of a beautiful neighborhood with lots of restaurants and beautiful trees. It's attractively decorated and spacious.
Cons: The Wi-Fi was unreliable, slow or simply not available throughout our month long stay. The host was largely unresponsive often not replying to messages or taking days to get back. It appears to be managed by a company; there were several contact people, all of whom were unresponsive. The hot water was very unreliable. You have to let it run for a few minutes and then if it doesn't get hot, turn it off, wait a minute and try again. It seems like the flow switch is broken so the instant hot water heater doesn't turn on. It took up to 20 minutes to get hot water flowing in the shower. When it does flow the worn out shower head is punishing with needle like jets out of a few holes and dribbles out of the rest. The dish washer is broken, and there was broken glass in the carpet resulting in several splinters. The air conditioner was very anemic, until we took the filter out to clean months worth of grime. The couch was terribly uncomfortable, sliding apart every time you sat on it. The balcony was covered in cigarette butts, and the AC unit blows hot air onto it making it quite uncomfortable in the summer. The power was unreliable, make sure to pay attention when they show you the breakers. The power went out on a daily basis, requiring the breakers to be reset. About half of the lights don't work, and the ones that do do seem to trip breakers when the oven is on. The stovetop support doesn't quite fit the range, meaning pots are prone to sliding off. We had both a pot of boiling pasta water and a pan of hot frying oil fall off at different times. Be very careful with children in the kitchen! The provided kitchenware is worn down. I had to buy a knife, because the ones in the kitchen were too dull.
Overall, we had a good time in Rome, but be prepared to have a DIY mindset with these absent co-hosts.
