Very convenient location! You feel extra safe for the police station across the road and nuns patrolling the streets thanks to the proximity to Vatican City. You can take the Metro (Ottaviano) to scoot to the other side of the river/city or you can walk, we did both.
Also a walk/bus to Trastevere, which isn’t too bad, can always Uber for dinner.
Despite being on the ground/basement level, there is more than sufficient lighting and the air conditioning worked perfectly for cooling and heating.
We didn’t cook, but the bar fridge is handy for cold drinks.
Overall apartment was clean and tidy - slight issue with toilet not flushing but Andrea helped us through! Short, sharp presses of the flush can typically get the job done.
Shower was fantastic pressure and temperature.
The only let down is the musty smell, but this is systemic of these types of apartments, as I understand it. Measures are taken to absorb the smell, but it is the first thing that hits you every time you walk in, and takes from 1-5 minutes to acclimatise to. Once we were in we didn’t notice it and it didn’t prevent us from having a lovely stay, but if you’ve got a sensitive nose it might affect you.
Andrea was welcoming, accommodating and a pleasant host who responded very quickly to our messages.
