We arrived at the apartment and were promptly let in by Flora. She explained everything about the house, but we were made to feel like we couldn't use things without it costing her too much (i.e. certain lights, air conditioning, etc...). The listing included air conditioning, but the remote to operate it was not in the apartment (another perceived cost saving measure). We had to ask her specifically to provide the remote. The apartment was within walking distance to the Vatican / Colosseum, which was the only pro. The apartment itself was nice enough, but rather small and constrictive. The staircase to the upstairs was a tight spiral staircase that made lugging bags upstairs rather difficult. The bed doesn't quite fit in the room, which means you have to squeeze between the bed and the handrail to get around to the other side of the bed. The shower only measures 24-inch by 24-inch, which was ridiculously small...even by european standards (try showering inside a phone booth). The shower also didn't have a shelf to place your soap and shampoo. On our first time using the shower, the drain was plugged and almost overflowed the shallow basin. We had to ask for the drain to be cleared and made functional, but it was never truly fixed...only to the point it wouldn't overflow. The listing includes a washer and a 'dryer'. She referred to a separate machine from the washing machine as the 'dryer', but it only provides the spin cycle that is typically included in all modern washing machines (...your clothes actually dry on a rack). During our stay, we considered leaving before the end but decided it would prove to be too difficult to get out of the predicament we found ourselves in. We wouldn't recommend staying here unless you are making your decision based solely on location (only pro against a long list of cons).
