This was only the second time we'd stayed at an Air BnB, the first being in Japan, which was a wholly different experience as to be expected and so comparisons would not be worth while.
The location of the apartment was perfect for those wishing to explore Rome. Tourist Rome is a compact city but even so from here it was easy to walk to almost everything, from the Vatican to the Colosseum. We even walked back from the Olympic Stadium. Locally, there are enough restaurants, wine bars and cafes of varying quality to suit everyone's taste and budget. If you need transport, a taxi rank was a minute away, and there were plenty of buses.
Many guests have commented about the traffic noise. Rome is a noisy city - full stop. Yes we could hear traffic but it soon became part of the background; in any case we spent most of the day on the streets but could easily relax when back in the apartment. The back bedroom is quiet but it is true that the front bedroom is not for light sleepers.
The apartment is spacious and comfortable. To be fair, it is not super-luxury and it is a little frayed around the edges: for example some sockets didn't work, the shower curtain in one bathroom was too short, in the second bathroom the shower head had no fixing to the upright pole so had to be held. Just little things that did not impinge on the enjoyment of our stay. Fortunately the lift worked! (Though when not carrying suitcases the walk up the stairs is easy, and a good way to work off those pasta pounds.)
We cooked a couple of evenings and the kitchen area, while small is perfectly serviceable. A couple of supermarkets can be found close by (the Express is best), a bakery, and the Campo' food market. (Though the latter also has a lot of tourist tat.)
Would we return? Yes we would.
