We enjoyed our 3 day stay in this apartment. Paulo was accommodating by amending our check in time to 1pm which was 2 hours earlier than advertised, we were very grateful for this as we were able to dump our bags and get straight back out. He arranged for his cleaning lady to meet us at the arranged time to let us in as she started to clean the apartment.
This apartment was within our price range and was accurately described. We went at the end of the season and the few little items that needed improving were probably because we were at the end of the season and hopefully he will rectify these before Spring, there were no major issues and we would recommend this flat. However, there was no kettle. We had to boil water in a little saucepan that didn’t have a handle, it was very dangerous and sloshed over the side of the cups as we struggled to hold the hot metal side of the pan. It was only luck that I didn’t burn my hands whilst attempting to pour the boiling water out. Also, the verandah outside needed attention - the canopy was hanging in shreds and the paint was peeling off the walls. The shower went hot and cold at will so showers took a while as you had to stand to one side and just wait when it went from hot to freezing then on to scalding.
Having said that, this apartment is ideally placed, only 2 stops from Termini and very easy to get anywhere in Rome on the underground. The veranda was huge and we sat out late at night under a full moon and stars which was a delight. There are large patio doors which let in a lot of light and even when they were closed, the view was lovely of sky and trees and other rooftops. We weren’t overlooked at all, the verandah was private. The traffic didn’t bother us, neither did the sirens mentioned in previous reviews. The lift mechanism is next to the room and although we heard it, it didn’t bother us. The area isn’t a tourist area and we had trouble finding a corner shop that sold milk for a cup of tea, it would have been nice for a pint in the fridge on arrival as some Airbnbs do. We never found any shop at all although there is a bar and a pizza place near by.
We had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this apartment if it is within your price range.
