First of all, the location is pretty amazing for walking to many of the ruins and sites in the heart of Rome. The street feels residential so it is fairly quiet. The apartment is on the ground floor so there are no stairs to climb, which is nice after a long day of walking.
There were some issues to be aware of, however:
1. Every morning starting at 6:00am there was a knocking noise that started, we assumed from an upstairs apartment. It continued relentlessly, thwarting all attempts to sleep in longer. This happened every single morning, and was even earlier one morning.
2. Communication wasn’t great. I wouldn’t get responses until sending multiple messages. I was asking about how to check in and also verifying the mailing address because I had left my passport in Petritoli, both were messages that needed a response.
3. Our first night something major leaked in the bathroom. Fully soaking the bath mat and leaving the floor completely wet. I messaged and no one ever came to check on it. I didn’t use the shower or washing machine because I wasn’t sure if they would cause more issues.
