Overall, we were happy with this location during our 5 night stay in Rome.
Pros:
- The location, just steps from Campo de Fiori, was wonderful. While I was a tad concerned over the potential noise from such a busy spot, we were never awakened or bothered by street noise in any way.
- The place was very clean and felt like we were visiting someone's home. Great decorating touches add a very "homey" feeling.
- The seating was comfortable and we made good use of both bathrooms (1 full and 1 half bath).
- The place felt secure. There were 3 locked doors between the apartments and the public. Regardless, we never felt unsafe, even outside after dark.
- The bed in the front bedroom was very comfortable.
- The hot water was abundant. We never ran out.
Cons:
- 72. A number that will live in personal infamy. This is the number of stairs that you have to trudge up when you come "home" after 15-20k steps every day. This is absolutely no one's fault and we went into this site fully aware due to the clear description on AirBNB.
- The washing machine didn't work due to a prior customer breaking the handle. Matteo attempted to demonstrate how to manipulate the washer door open but it wasn't worth the big hassle. We ended up paying to wash our clothes at a nearby laundromat. I mention this because having laundry was one of the primary qualities that we looked for during our search and it was disappointing to lose that ability.
- The mattress on the bed in the back bedroom is truly the hardest bed I've ever slept on. I sleep on hotel beds just fine and prefer a firm mattress but this one is next level. Fortunately, this is easily rectified with a mattress topper.
All things considered, we would recommend this as a place to stay in Rome.
