franca was a very nice lady and very welcoming, however for the price i did expect something better, it wasn't very clean, there were hairs all over the floors, bed, blankets and couch from previous renters, lots of dust that i ended up cleaning the floors a bit, nothing extremely dirty, the hairs just kinda grossed me out. The stove sometimes didn't work, and since there is no oven or microwave, etc,... preparing my own food was sometimes difficult. In my opinion, it's too expensive for the location and what you get. Especially since you have to pay a pretty high cleaning fee as well and it wasn't even necessarily clean, and on top of that a tourist tax too. READ THIS TIP: italian outlets are different, there is only one adapter in the whole apartment, only the outlets by the bed also fit european chargers, so if you have a lot of electronic devices, i would recommend looking out for that. Also don't drink the coffee. The instant coffee in the container on the shelves tastes like it has been in there for 10 years :p The bed and pillows are pretty hard, the wifi is horrible, only works in certain spots of the apartment like the bedroom and if you put your phone on the shelves, for people who dont speak italian or french, communication would be very hard. I am fluent in French and even her French was sometimes not understandable, and she threw a lot of italian in there. For me these were all just little things, but i want to give an as specific review :) so aside from those little things, the apartment was nice and everything went well for me, the colosseum is about a 25 minute walk and a very easy route, vatican city is about 1h15, pantheon and everyting close to that maybe 1h20. Everyone in the other reviews talked about taking the subway, but i would 100% recommend doing everything by foot, it may seem far but everywhere you look in Rome there is something to see, taking the subway or bus to the Colosseum or even vatican city is such a waste in my opinion, you miss out on the little things and the city/rome vibe (coming from someone who barely hikes or goes for walks by the way), the routes aren't very hard either, vatican city for example was mostly going straight ahead. Looking back i would also recommend a rome pass. I also walked from the train station to the apartment (train from Fiumicino is around 35 minutes and a ticket was 13 euros i think), cause i couldn't find the subway i had to take hahaha, it's about 20 minutes and not a too hard route either. I left at 4 am to catch my plane with a taxi, and there were homeless people sleeping in the gallery, so be careful. If you have to take a taxi at night, i would recommend doing as i did and booking one on booking.com. Rome taxi's are only permitted to stop at a taxi stop and i wouldn't want to walk to one in the middle of the night as a girl alone. It's about the same price (about 50 euros (standard price for a ride to Fiumicino airport)) and felt safer than a Rome taxi, since drivers on booking.com are verified and in my experience always on time and polite. There's a supermarket about 5 minutes away, same with a McDonalds if you're missing home lol. The janitor was polite and wanted to check the stoves, but he didnt speak anything other than Italian and i obviously was not going to let a grown man into the apartment with only me there in a foreign country either. Hope this helped! Now enjoy your stay :) (The restaurants by the Pantheon are a-ma-zing) oh another thing, the neighbours are very loud, one of them was vacuuming at 11 pm, or some of them scream in the hallways, you also hear a lot of outside noise, i can sleep through anything, but falling asleep with a vacuum on is too much too ask
