The 15 minute walkable distance to the Roma Termini train station was the only positive point, despite the roads leading up to the apartment being unpaved, uneven, and extremely filthy. There was no air conditioning, which is written in the description. With this in mind, we opened the window to let fresh air in. Once we opened the window, the noise and commotion from the busy street disrupted our sleep, keeping us up all night—if the heat was not already difficult enough to tolerate. With the windows closed, sure it is significantly quieter in the room, but it gets unbearably stifling throughout the night. The bathroom consists of a tight, narrow hallway-like room with the appliances along the left side and a minute shower in the back. If you are muscly or a little chubbier, you will for sure have difficulties walking through the bathroom. We reserved the room for two days, but the tortuous heat forced us to leave the next day. We proceeded to book a hotel that was closer to Termini, cleaner, and quieter accompanied with air-conditioning, WiFi access (not available in Shapan’s apartment), and free breakfast. Surprisingly, it was cheaper to stay at that hotel than Shapan’s place.
All in all, just book a hotel to save yourself the trouble.
