My fiancé and I travel to Rome a lot since his family is from there. I don’t usually write poor reviews, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed with this Airbnb selection.
I take full blame for the selection, I booked it for my self and parents who were visiting Italy for the first time. We stayed at Airbnb’s throughout the entire trip and this was the only one that was not as expected. It’s kinda one of those you get what you pay for.

1) The terrace was one reason we rented property. Half of the plants were dead. It could have used a good hose down.
2) Photos are staged so some furniture has been changed out. I know it’s a rental so changing furniture is common, but it’s usually for the better not the worst. A little deceptive on the appearance all in all.
3) The apartment could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly. If you have ever been to Rome it is a gorgeous city, but if you wear any kind of nude/light shoe for day you know they will be filthy from the street naturally. Of course you bring this dirt into the house once you come home... The floors were not clean. We had to wear shoes the entire time because the bottom of our feet would be black in seconds if not. Also the coffee pot was not usable as it was so filthy.
4) There was a very strong stench present in the apartment from the moment we entered. We tried to air it out every time we were home by opening the windows, however this really did not help.
But hands down we feel that campi di Fiori is the best location to stay in Rome as it is so central. Just don’t eat at any of the tourist trap restaurants in the squares.
