We wanted let people know our experience whilst we stayed in this apartment to avoid others being disappointed as we were.
The purpose of our trip was twofold a vacation and also for some work matters and to this end we needed to be rested and relaxed to enable us to enjoy our stay unfortunately this was not possible, due to the following:
•	On the first morning of our stay we were woken at 7am approx., by heavy demolition and extremely noisy building works undertaken to the shop below the apartment (owned by the same person that rents the apartment through Air BNB), we queried whether they should be working so early, the builders rather rudely said they were allowed to. After insisting further that it was too early they did stop temporarily only to restart again.
We notified the agent later that morning of the building works and they kindly came to the apartment to meet us, by chance the owner of the flat itself arrived also and we briefly spoke with her
She was dismissive of our concerns and made excuses, rather than offering any resolutions.
Instead she advised that all the building works would be completed that day. This was not the case as the building works resumed the following morning albeit at 8am !!
Other things that we noted during our stay are as follows in no particular order:
•	No working light that we could find to shared entrance lobby, the main access stair from ground floor to the first floor this is the only access stair in and out and it felt dangerous!!
•	No blinds or ability to close off the bathroom window (day 2, we were presented with workmen peering through bathroom window
•	Bed did not comfortably fit 2 people, and far smaller than a standard double….
•	Shower was very small, water pressure was not very good at all
•	Scaffolding and building materials kept outside the front door to the apartment , felt like you were entering a building site
•	4am every morning you will be awoken to the local rubbish collection lorry and the almighty noise of hundreds of glass bottles be smashed as they are tipped into the lorry itself
•	Noise transfer from the apartment above was terrible.
•	TV not working (unable to receive any channels)
•	We had hoped to be able to cook from home but was not feasible with items available. very limited cooking equipment etc, hardly as described “small kitchen well equipped”
We have been to this area of Rome before “Trastevere” and understood that it is a lively and thriving neighbourhood.
However we did not expect to have less than 3hours uninterrupted sleep every night !!!
