Working with Jef was very easy. He was very accessible via Whats*App and was extremely accommodating. He helped with directions to and from the train station and arranged for a private taxi for us back to the airport.
The apartment is very small. The bathroom is immediately to the right when you enter, and the shower immediately to the left. The pictures are accurate in that sense, but there is really no space to stand for more than two people.
Be aware that the apartment is on top of a restaurant with a glass ceiling. If you have your window open, people walking down the hallway can definitely see into your apartment. The door also opens with a old big key. The key hole is big enough that people outside can LOOK INTO the apartment. What’s directly in sight you ask? Your bed. We stuffed the key lock with tissue every night to ensure there weren’t any peeping Tom’s. It can also be very loud at night when people are walking by.
That being said, the apartment is very centrally located. We were a 30 second walk from Trevi fountain, a 10 min walk from Plazza Venezia (which then has a beautiful view of the Colosseum), 30 min walk to the Vatican, and 15 mins from the Pantheon. Great location!
Though the place had its challenges, it was a good option for a stay. Just know you’re paying for the location, not the apartment.
