The apartment is managed by a company and their response is prompt and friendly. Location wise this is a fairly central area: there is a small supermarket downstairs (very convenient), an ATM machine, small restaurants and a gelato shop. Diagonally across the apartment is the Italian departmental store COIN with many other little shops, cafes and restaurants. The metro station, tram stop and bus stop are all located 2-5 minutes walk away - a bus ride to the historic center of Rome (e.g. Spanish steps and shopping area) takes about 15 minutes. It is also located near to the Colosseum (just a few bus stops away).
We enjoyed the spaciousness of the stylish apartment which sleeps 5 persons very comfortably. However, there were several issues. Firstly, it was not made known to us that the air conditioning in the living room was faulty. When it was switched on, there was a loud ringer which sets off very 5 minutes (sounding very much like a loud ringing door bell). When we raised this problem with the management, they apologized and informed us it was not possible to fix this (they knew the problem). As we have already checked-in and unpacked, the rental was prepaid we had no choice but to put up with the incessant ringing for the next 6 days. No one should put up with this.
A host of other items: the living room sofa was very dirty - the fabric covers had not been taken off and wash clean prior to our check-in. The kitchen was equipped with basic utensils and tools for limited cooking, and there was no proper kitchen towel, tea towel or clean table cloth for use. We had to use one of our bath towels in the kitchen. There was only a single plastic bag in the rubbish bin and no more extras were provided - i.e. if you bring food home, or cook a meal, or have items to throw, there was no extra trash bags available. The electric kettle has a very thick layer of limescale (chalky deposits) which no one had bothered to clean for a long time. There is a washing machine, however the drying rack was so small there was no place to dry your clothes when you do your laundry. The showers in the 2 bathrooms have very low pressure, at times slowed to a trickle, and sometimes there was no hot water. Toilet paper was limited as well, no extras where stocked when we have 4 persons for 6 nights. Considering that we paid EUR 1,400 in rental fees one would have assumed that these things are taken care of.
We suggest before you book, please ensure the above items are fixed and taken care of.
