I'll start with the good things about our stay, Mirko was a wonderful host! He was always available if/when I had questions. We were able to check in way earlier than expected. and didn't have to store our luggage somewhere else. The location was perfect. Right around the corner from the colosseum, 8 min walk to the trevi fountain, and 20 mins to the pantheon. The apartment had an elevator to get us to the top floor, the apartment had a beautiful view. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, probably one of the best we slept on in italy. Now for the reasons I only gave this place 4 stars. Although the view and balcony were beautiful, we picked it specifically for the colosseum view, and unfortunately, there really wasn't one. There was a large fence that blocked the view, I'm assuming because of a neighbor, which I understand, but I definitely couldn't walk out and see it. My husband really wanted the view, so I was a bit disappointed. The other reason for the 4 stars was because the place needed a little TLC, there were cracks in the walls and in general things were loose so we didn't want to touch anything or break anything. also the kitchen was very limited, so I wouldn't stay for more that three or four days.
overall I would stay there again and recommend it, I just would make sure to let people in on the few negatives
