The location of the apartment was great, really close to restaurants, bars and close to the bus routes.
The apartment has everything you need for your stay. It is small, but if you don’t mind small it’s ideal.
However, we did experience a few negative things within the apartment. The linen on the bed was clearly quite old and worn it had holes in as well as a few suspicious stains. I am in no way a clean freak but clean bedding is a must! The apartment was tidy and mostly clean however I must say it is quite dusty- not dirty, especially the decorative pipes on the ceiling directly above the bed.
Another issue we faced was working the hot water for the shower. The host did not meet us upon arrival as stated on the booking, so we had no chance to ask about boiler etc we messaged him asking how to work the hot water, with no reply we had to boil the kettle and wash in the sink (we were in Rome in February, cold shower was not an option) and further had to get in touch with air bnb for them get in touch with the host. Even after finding the boiler switch the water was warm for about 2 minutes before then going freezing again so we spent the time washing with kettle boiled water.
If you do go in winter take layers, this is not a warm apartment, the concrete floor is freezing and the heater provided does not really do much.
I hate to write negative reviews but I want to make sure people know what they are getting, as the pictures are quite misleading. In the pictures it shows a sofa/living room area- this was not in the flat, in fact the area where the sofa is shown in the pictures is the bedroom area.
One more minor issue we faced was the electric tripping out and having to follow instructions on post it notes that are stuck around the flat to switch it back on. This involved climbing up to reach a fuse box, difficult if you re short like me.
Overall with a few minor tweaks this apartment would be a great base for a weekend in Rome.
