The apartment is quaint, spacious and love the high ceilings. Located well in proximity of the metro station, bus stop and sights of Rome. Nicolò is a great host, organized, responds really fast and is very hospitable. Our first night we had dinner at one of the restaurants (Al Vecchio Galeone) he recommends in his guide book and it was a great meal with very friendly owners.
Having said that, we stayed 4 nights and our experience was that we lost power twice because the circuits tripped and were without electricity for a day. We’re a family of 6 and it’s mid summer heat, so it’s good to know that the airconditioning was running in the bedroom both times. Admittedly, the first time was our own fault because we were advised at check-in not to use multiple applications at once. The first time, by force of habit, the tv was on in the late evening, electric fan in the living room was blowing (because there’s just the one AC unit in one bedroom and one portable in the other), water boiler was turned on and the oven was pre-heating for a late dinner, that’s when the circuits tripped and we were out of electricity. However, Nicolò was very kind and helpful and returned to the apartment quickly to turn it back on, because the main circuit is down at the storage guests can’t access. We learned our lesson the hard way and carefully coordinated the use of appliances because we knew no one could attend to us during the holiday weekend (Ferragosto) with the absence of the family, should it happen again. Sadly, by the third morning the circuits tripped again. But this time we had only started the electric water boiler. We’re happy to comply with house rules and adjust ourselves, but we shouldn’t have to stress about losing power. We made due without the electricity for the last night. The apartment is great if you’re just looking for a place to sleep and refresh, but wouldn’t recommend it if you make much use of a kitchen.
