No frills, very plain decor, and supplies were sparse (we ran out of toilet paper). We were quite surprised when upon arrival Paolo photographed all of our passports. The apartment was very hot so I opened the window and proceeded to turn off the heaters. He scolded me and closed the window. We felt more like criminals than guests. Not as close to the Vatican and restaurants as expected. and we heard sirens all through the night. There was a tiny washer that would only accommodate up to 3 shirts. The view, however, was very nice.
