Although the hosts were friendly and responsive to a problem, you need to be aware of the serious negative aspects of this property:

If you are taller than 5'5" (1.6 m), unless you bend over, you will hit your head in several places.

There is very little natural light or air available. You enter on the second floor but the unit is built into a hill. There is only one small window in the upstairs bedroom loft, but it is right a sidewalk level.

If you open the window, the street noise, especially in the evening and early in the morning is very loud. Motorcycles and cars sound like they are coming right into the room. People walking and talking on the sidewalk sound like they are in the room with you.

If you use the air conditioner that is in the bedroom - and you will definitely need it to get some air into the unit - be aware that it is very loud.

The bathroom is tiny with a very low ceiling. There is no shower curtain and water will be all over the floor and toilet from the splash off your body.

There are only hard wooden or wicker chairs to sit on. No comfortable sofa as shown in the photo.

The path from the bedroom to the bathroom has steps down, across a clear glass pane and steps up again with a low overhead obstruction. This can be difficult to navigate when getting up during the night.

The floorboards creak so loudly that it could wake up a sleeping partner.

On the positive side, it's clean and attractively decorated. The hosts provide a booklet with very helpful tips and suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing.

The location worked well. It's a five minute walk to the bus stop and 10-15 minutes to the Colosseum and metro station. There are many restaurants and a neighborhood mini-mart close by.

We took advantage of the transportation ( it is not a licensed taxi) service back to the airport that was convenient and on time.
