Charles house is...okay.
Positives: Very spacious apartment, pretty quiet inside, very clean, public transportation is a 1 min walk away. There is a WONDERFUL cafe (Cafe Meet) that is a 2 min walk; they serve gelato as well. There is an ATM, pharmacy, and 2 grocery stores within 5 min walk. Very convenient.
Negatives: If you want to see Rome, you must take a bus and 2 trains. It only costs €1,50. We did this with 2 children, and it was fun once or twice, but is overall a hassle and takes 1.5 hours. Taxi costs €30-60 and takes 30 min. The terrace you see in the picture is actually over a very busy street. It’s overlooking a field and a McDonalds. The listing also says there is A/C, but there was none. This was torture in 80-90 degree F heat. Silvia tried to get it fixed but to no avail, but it’s still unacceptable with 2 small children. She gave us no discount, only apologized. Also, the WiFi only works in the main room. In the master bedroom, it cuts in and out and even went out altogether once. Finally, there is an extra city tax of €3,50 per person per night. It adds up!
Overall, one of the least pleasant of all my experiences with Airbnb, but it served the purpose of letting my family stay outside Rome’s center.
