I will start with pros.
1) Matteo and his brother were great in communicating with us and responded very timely and addressed the issue that we had very quickly. Local tips and restaurant recommendations were also appreciated.
2) The location of the apartment is fantastic! It’s 5 mins walk to Colosseum and you can walk to almost all the major historical sites, we walked everywhere and only took a bus to Vatican.
Cons.
1) the place is missing some basic amenities, like a working microwave, an electric kettle or a coffeemaker. No frills.
2) Needs maintenance, better bedding and more thorough cleaning.
