A mixed review. Starting with the good:
1. LOVED the decor, layout and apartment - industrial wow factor. Amazing high ceilings, open wood ceiling, brick walls, sunken living area, metal kitchen, ambient light options. Very open plan so won't suit all groups but for us we loved it. Such a cool space - but one bedroom is totally open on a mezzanine so bear that in mind.
2. Location is fantastic - it's on the edge of Trastevere so easy to walk to river and over to the sights, surrounded by restaurant choices.
3. Air con in the one bedroom/master works.
4. Comfortable beds, clean linens.
And the not so good:
1. Apartment was clearly a home but has been empty for a while and not rented out before - is extremely bare and has no or little 'comforts' you expect: very empty kitchen, no cooking supplies, you get one tea towel, a tiny bottle of dish soap. No shampoo or shower gel, one bath towel each, no welcome items, no instruction book or location suggestions...
2. Check-in was too limited - they didn't explain that there is a kitchen sink HIDDEN under the sliding metal counter top (I had to find that by searching everywhere for a sink), they didn't explain that you need to lift up the toilet in the guest bathroom to be able to use the shower, didn't explain the AC or where anything was.
3. Place needs a clean - moths flying out of cupboards.
4. Some parts old, worn or damaged - didn't bother us as the overall place was so cool, but fyi.
Would we stay again? YES.
Would we recommend it? YES to people who don't need a private second bathroom and NOT to families with small kids (dangerous stairs).
But it really needs some TLC!
