We don’t mean for this to be an overly negative review, but, overall, we had a relatively ok stay. The place was super accessible to a ton of shops and restaurants. The apartment itself needs some help. It could use lots of easy repairs (broken toilet roll holder, broken shower shelf, broken curtains, needs re-painting, etc.)
If you were staying for a few days you’d probably be fine here. We stayed for an entire month. Probably wouldn’t stay again. The host is not local (or so it seemed) as someone else checked us in and handled 90% of the communication.
My boyfriend and I actually ended up buying a bunch for the apartment that we left so if you stay after us you’ll probably notice there are 2 fans, a chromecast, olive oil, foil, detergent, etc. That was all from us. So, you’re welcome! :)
PROS:
⁃	The best thing about this place was the location. Super close to Vatican, Pantheon, Castel St. Angelo, etc. Everything was very accessible to walk around.
⁃	It was quiet. We didn’t experience any of the noises previously reported. Although next to a main road, you couldn’t hear the cars.
⁃	There is a lift and the building entrance has an attendant during the day. It felt safe even at night.
CONS:
⁃	The only part of the apartment that gets cold is the place you spend the least amount of time. The A/C doesn’t circulate well at all. Be prepared for hot sleeping if here in the summer.
⁃	No view. The only view is into a courtyard into other apartments
⁃	The bed was STIFF. We almost went out to buy a mattress topper because it was so uncomfortable. But we did find some tucked away blankets we used for cushioning under our sheets lol
⁃	The kitchen is SMALL. Very difficult to cook in and there is no oven. 1 very small burner and 1 normal burner.
⁃	Limited kitchen supplies + no essentials provided. For example there is 1 wine glass, random assortment of cups, no salt and pepper, no napkins, stovetop espresso maker. There was a garbage, but, it was a mop bucket. So we just hung a trash bag in the kitchen instead
⁃	The wifi really only worked in the living room. Little to no connection in the bedroom. Not ideal for remote workers or multiple people who have meetings.
⁃	We weren’t here to watch TV, but, the TV in the living room is TINY and doesn’t have any streaming services (except for now the chrome cast that we accidentally left lol you’re welcome!)
⁃	We actually cleaned the apartment ourselves because the AC filter, bathroom fan, room fan were all coated in dust and hadn’t been cleaned.
⁃	This may be a normal thing, but, we were a little shocked at both deliveries of fresh bedsheets. People just let themselves into the apartment. The first time while in the shower and the next we came home and saw two different people letting themselves in to the apartment.
PRIVATE MESSAGE:
Our stay was OK but there are a lot of minor, easy things we feel could be done to really make this a more pleasant stay. We felt it wasn’t well cleaned (dust, scuffs, stains on blankets, dirty AC filter and fans) and there were a LOT of things that were broken. The A/C doesn’t work well at all and the kitchen essentials were very bare. We also think a provided booklet of information on how to work certain appliances as well as an overview of the area and restaurant recommendations could really make this a five-star stay. Other Airbnbs offer these simple things that make it much more pleasant. Cheers!
