Location was great for the Trastavere location. It is close to restaurants, cafes and market for the neighborhood. I have a 12 yo and it was important that I felt safe during the day and evening. Location was quite despite being steps away from the local eateries.
It is far from the sites, and might not have minded the 35 minute walk (1.3 miles) to the Vatican, Collesium, etc if it was not summer. After our 1st day walking to the Vatican, all the other days we ended up using a taxi (about 10 euros one way) to all the other locations for our tours. Tips for travelers: use the itTaxi app to call a cab. Super easy and arrived much faster than Uber.
My wifi was spotty and could not get the link to open up to unlock the front door. Thankfully someone living in the building was cleaning the front, so he let us in. After getting to the front door of the unit, again, did not have great reception to utilize the smart lock. I took a screenshot of the code to open the door, so used that the entire trip after 3 attempts to unlock with the link. The host leaves a key for the main door, so would recommend using that to access.
Bedrooms clean & bed comfy. Kitchen we didn't use, but did notice that the floor in the kitchen was not very clean. I feel like the cleaners focused on the bedroom & walkway area floors, so those areas were clean enough to walk barefoot the entire stay.
Unit is darker than pictured, does not receive as much sunlight as the photos. I normally like to book brighter units or units with sufficient lightly. Just personal pet peeve.
Wifi was slow, so attempting to stream Netflix and make wifi calls was spotty. Tried to reboot, but didn't help. My husband needed to work while we were there, so it did affect some of his business calls.
Host arranged pick up from airport for 55 euros. Cabs cost 50, so I would definitely book the private car to make it easier. Host was very responsive and communicated well.
If I have already been to Italy and didn't need to do the sites, and wanted to just immerse myself in the culture/neighborhood, would stay here again. If looking to do all the tourist things, would recommend staying closer to the sites to save money on the cab rides.
