This flat in Rome was excellent for a few day stay in September. The apartment itself is styled with modern furniture and art work and the unit itself including kitchen and 2 bathrooms were high quality including the fixtures and windows. The balcony from the bedroom was a nice addition to enjoy the outdoors. The elevator that takes you right to the apartment with your own secure entrance was great for heavy luggage. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. You just never know what to expect at some of the airbnb's we have stayed in.
The location was great for us. It was a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum, although we took a taxi. There are restaurants nearby and we even went to the Dodo restaurant right next door a few times. A Conad grocery store is a 5 minute walk around the block which was convenient for supplies like breakfast cereal, coffee, milk, pasta with a small produce section. The neighborhood is very walkable but with what you would expect in Rome including narrow streets with cars and Vespas and lots of pedestrians. It's about a 25 minute walk through a crazy tunnel and traffic to get to the Spanish steps and Trevi fountain but Taxis are abundant.
Things a traveler from the states would like to know: 45 minute drive from the Airport, now bathtub but 2 showers, air conditioning worked great, apartment's decor is very modern and up to date, kitchen was fully appointed with a coffee maker. The apartment is equipped with an eco friendly hot water system that was a bit inconsistent. One night we could make it through a 20 minute shower and the next, just 15 minutes before the hot water ran out. We just learned what to expect and adjusted to super super short showers. It is probably something very normal for a city like Rome, but coming from the U.S, I am used to the luxury of long, hot showers. But this is very minor and if you are staying at this property, you care more about taking advantage of the historic city and what Rome has to offer than about showers so don't let it deter you. After we experienced it the first night, we quickly adjusted and for a couple, took shorter showers spaced some time apart.
The host was super easy to communicate with and responsive and the check in/check out process was easy. She even helped us out with arranging a private car to and from the airport. I have used Airbnb for stays in the U.S so when planning this stay in Rome, I chose a super host that was verified so I felt confident about the property. I would definitely stay here again.
