I will summarise my stay with some Pros and Cons:
Pros:
1) LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. It's within 5 mins walking distance to the Termini which makes travel very easy. It's also within walking distance to the Coliseum. There are a lot of street vendors and restaurants nearby. The price on those restaurants are relatively cheaper as compared to those near tourist attractions. Do try out Trattoria Cecio but do book ahead if you don't want to wait in line.
2) FAST CHECK IN. The check in process is simple. The hose couldn't meet us there in person but he sent his friend who was equally up to the task. It was quick and simple. Don't get intimidated for having your passport photos taken, it's just part of the check in process here in Italy. We know now that we have stayed in a few AirBnb here.
3) COMMS. The host is very quick to respond to your AirBnB messages. We did have some hot water trouble (see more details below) on one night but it was quickly resolved with AirBnB messages and WhatsApp messages.
Cons:
1) NOISE. The apartment is located on the concern of 2 streets. One of them have trams going through as early as 6am. The apartment windows are noise proof but it did not completely cut out the traffic noise, people noise etc.
2) SHOWER: The shower is standing room only for 3 quarters of a person only if you don't want to be touching the wall or the shower curtain. The shower head kept on falling off. It would help if the host invest into a new shower head holder. The hot water went out one night but it was quickly resolved after a few messages. The trick is to turn off the black lever and turn it back on to trigger a restart, and hot water came straight away.
Overall we are very happy with the stay and will recommend it to anyone. Just bring some ear buds to cut out the noise if you can't sleep with it.
Cheers,
Tim
