5 stars for the price.
Host: Our host was very prompt at communicating. I had cell service issues (Verizon) so communication was slow. He was very patient, and gave lots of tips. So thankful since my phone had issues and I used a lot of the info he provided before the trip.
Location: such a good location! You will be by the best gelato place. Very important for your trip. There are so many good restaurants within a 2 min walk. 10 minutes to the Vatican. 10 to the pantheon. Could be less time but there is so much shopping along the way :) There is a great place to buy wine and a grocery store downstairs, everyone on the block speaks English which was so helpful for us. The location can not be beat.
Helpful hints: the modem has the WiFi password on it, they call it a radar. First floor is actually the second floor. (We are from the States) So if you have mobility issues, there is an elevator but it is small. We had to go one person at a time with our luggage. Ground floor is actually floor 0 in Europe. There is a key pad for entry but you do have to coordinate with the host to let you in the lobby door. You get a key after but you have to make sure you have service to communicate with them. My sister had AT&T and had great service.
The space: the space has a step up when you walk in. So mobility could be an issue for some. There is AC and a washing machine that holds a few things. About 4 towels at a time. Apparently dryers aren’t common in the UK. There is a sleeper which they had to send us a YouTube link to figure out. The cord is at the top of the couch! Pulls out very easy! The beds are very firm. The space is small. However, everything in Italy is smaller then the US. I’m 5’8” and could not lift my arms without touching the ceiling in the bathroom and kitchen. So if you are over 6’ this might be a struggle. The shower is tight and we couldn’t shave. They did leave soap and some basics. You need power converts which you can buy on amazon for cheap. They had a hairdryer which was great because mine and my sister’s hair dryer wouldn’t work even with power converters. Before your trip, google what power wattage works with the converters. The place was the perfect fit for two but I wouldn’t recommend more then that.
Overall, I give this place a 5 star rating. It’s cheap, good location, and honestly there is so much to do in Rome, we didn’t spend a ton of time in the place. The host were great and checked in on us, they were great.
