Overview:
We were 4 friends who the apartment as a base to explore the city. We didn't use the kitchen to cook regularly, and essentially just used the space to sleep and recharge. It was basic and sligntly noisy, but it was clean, relatively well equipped, and had easy access.
The Good:
The apartment is in a great location for easily seeing the main sites of Rome. Sandwich shops and coffee bars are only 30 seconds from the front door. Check in / check out is easy, with the option of bag storage if necessary for early arrivals / late departures. The apartment is clean and equipped relatively well.
The host ensures there's some water in the fridge (and some materials for a pasta) for your arrival.
The not so good:
The location means the apartment suffers from a lot of noise. Early morning vendors and school kids tend to fill the streets from 7am, but you can still usually get a lie in if your noise tolerance allows it.
