i stayed at filippo’s during my trip to rome and i had a great experience! the apartment is in a great location and very accessible to different tourist attractions by foot. it’s very close to the pantheon as well as the trevi foundation and there are numerous restaurants, gelato shops, and bars in the area. i saved a lot of money on transportation because the apartment is very well centralized and it was a great way to explore different parts of the city.
the only reason why i didn’t give filippo’s place 5 stars is because there is no central heating or hot water. there is a switch in the bathroom to turn the boiler on and it must be turned on 1 hour before; however, even after doing that, the water was still very cold. it was hard to take showers in the morning because it was so cold and i didn’t enjoy that very much. besides that, everything else was great and filippo was very friendly and communicative!
