Disappointed and wouldn't recommend due to lack of cleanliness, noise from local traffic, and long walking distance from tourist attractions. While the owner's son, Marco, was very nice and reserved us a cab ride for 40 euros to the airport, the overwhelming smell of dust and "old" in the apartment was unbearable. In fact, we both started having severe allergies, which would alleviate when we would leave the apartment and would re-aggravate during our sleep. The bedsheets smelled rancid. The living area had a dirty rug and a cracked leather couch covered with fabric that seemed to have never been washed. The bathroom floor was dirty with several long black hairs from prior guests. All the sheets, couch covers, rug, etc should be thrown out and replaced completely and the bathroom should be cleaned properly. The AC cools well and the windows all have pull-down shades; however, so much sunlight still penetrates thru causing the apartment to feel like a sauna when you return. The electricity is triggered by the key and therefore you cannot leave the AC on to cool while you're out. There is a busy street a block away that creates a lot of traffic noise in the morning and disrupted our sleep. Regarding walking distance, it took us over an hour to the Vatican, 45 minutes to the Termini train station, and 30 minutes to the Colosseum and city center entrance. A one-way taxi was 25 euros. You can easily take an Uber FROM the center back to the apartment, but Uber had over a 30 minute wait time to pick us up from the apartment. We had booked this Airbnb after reading such great reviews, but are dumbfounded by the miserable stay we experienced. Considering the unexpected transportation costs we incurred, we would have been better off staying at a clean hotel in the city center.
