Amazing location but a disappointing, unkept apartment.
The communication and availability of the hosts was awesome-from arranging the car to bringing a missing sheet, it was all great.
The air conditioner saved us from the heat, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the flat is a couple of minutes walk from the colosseum.
The apartment was unclean(we cleaned the toilet and shower bottom ourselves, as well as the kitchen surfaces and door handles), and unkept-from water damaged walls, to broken furniture and peeling cabinets.
The pictures were clearly taken at least 5 years ago and by no means is this a “newly renovated apartment” as the description mentions.
There is nothing wrong with wear and tear but stains on the walls and being told not to use a chair is taking it too far.
Despite it all we managed to make it comfortable for ourselves and mainly enjoyed the proximity to everything and an ease of access to the amazing city experience.
Beware light sleepers-Its a bustling street smack next to the colosseum with a lot of traffic and people walking and you are on the second floor facing the street. Earplugs recommended.
