Let me start by saying that the location of this apartment is absolutely fantastic. There are plentiful restaurants and markets nearby as well as the Colosseo metro and the many beautiful sites of Ancient Rome are just a short walk away. If this place is within your budget it’s definitely worth your consideration!
We did have a few problems however. There was a problem with the toilet in the main bathroom and we were told that it couldn’t be fixed for two days. We were very unhappy about this and conveyed that to our host and he eventually wound up calling some plumbers to fix the problem that night. While I understand that these things happen and I appreciate the eventual effort to fix it promptly, it was a bit concerning that we had to push for them to do this.
Additionally, we were greeted a bit late at the apartment despite sending notification when we arrived at the train station. It was quite hot that day and waiting in the sun to be let in wasn’t the best first impression. There was a civil demonstration going on and that delayed our entry... but we didn’t receive notice that it was going to be delayed until after we’d been waiting in the front of the apartment for a few minutes.
Finally, the air conditioner was having issues. The host alerted us to this when we arrived and taught us how to “reset” it in the even this happened. We got lucky the first night and the air conditioner worked all night... however our second night we had to continually go into the master bedroom and reset the air conditioner multiple times during the night to keep the apartment comfortable.
I believe that these were probably one off events and I think this apartment offers good value and a fantastic location. If it hadn’t been for the few issues we ran into I would likely have given 5 stars but given the inconveniences we faced I have to dock a star.
