The location of this apartment is unbeatable. It is super close to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, the metro, and some really great restaurants.
Honestly, we felt that the apartment itself was just ok. It was decorated nicely and the bed was comfortable. However, it did feel a bit dirty. The walls were visibly dirty and the shower ceiling had black mold. It also sounds like the street was inside the apartment. It tended to be super loud - cars, trucks, people from the street. Additionally, the building itself seemed under construction; it had exposed wires and things like that visible. We did acknowledge and did take into consideration that the building is old. So a couple of these complaints were understandable. For us, since we weren’t there much besides resting and bathing, the location took precedent. We didn’t complain to the host, but if I had reserved a longer stay, I would have said something about the mold and dirt. Although we only exchanged a few messages with him through the app, Fabio was kind, gracious, and communicated check-in and check out clearly. We appreciate him opening his home to us for our quick stay in Rome.
