The apartment is located in San Giovanni, one of my favorite residential areas in Rome. It is a short walk to Metro A, which allows quick and easy access to all the attractions Rome has to offer. There are also several restaurants, shops and grocery stores located close by. Staying here, in this quiet residential area, is truly like living life as a modern day Roman. Communication is excellent and our host, Ruben, was wonderfully friendly and helpful. The apartment has a fully functional kitchen with an adorable balcony and it is located on the 5th floor which offers a nice neighborhood view. Negatively however, although refurbished and redecorated, in honesty, the apartment is not quite as flattering in person, as it appears in the photos. Although clean, it is a bit rundown and is not as tastefully decorated as the photos would have one believe. Sadly, the water problem, of extreme hot water, alternating with extreme cold water, with no
middle ground, which has been written about in other reviews, continues to persists. And lastly, although equipped with an air conditioning unit, the only room in which it cools, is the living area, leaving sleeping in the bedroom, on the only actual bed in the apartment, quite warm and uncomfortable.
I must admit that although functional, and able to meet my basic needs, my overall feeling towards the apartment was one of disappointment and for this reason, although some positives exist, I cannot with a good conscience highly recommend it.
