This apartment is well placed in the old part of Rome and does appear to have been redecorated as stated in the description but they missed the shower cubicle which is tiny and badly in need of a deep clean. There is black mould round the bottom of the screen; on the sealant and along the door runners.

The online details say there is, "a home theatre sound system that can be used to listen to an iPod via the dock." It is not in the apartment. When we asked Victor he said it had been damaged by previous guests and was being repaired. He said we could listen to You Tube via the smart tv which works very slowly and is not what we had wanted. He said he would contact customer services but never got back to us about it.

The Smart TV does not respond to surfing the net despite following the instructions in the apartment. The key board does not work, possibly because the batteries are flat. The mouse didn't have any batteries in it. At this point we gave up with the technology that sounds good in the description but in reality is not. The wifi is good and it helped us find places to go to using our iPad.

We had a good time in Rome but were disappointed that the apartment didn't live up to our expectations of cleanliness and maintenance. There is much to see and do in Rome and we did not want to waste valuable time trying to sort out the issues which would not have been a problem if the apartment had been properly maintained.
