This place has an incredible location, 7 minutes walk from the coliseum and Roman forum. The apartment was very clean and decently equipped, however the smell that other reviews referenced is VERY real. The smell had ebbs and flows to it but it was always present in some form and at its worst would almost cause dry heaving. It smelled as if the gas from the sewer was coming directly into the apartment through the toilettes and shower drains, as if improperly plumbed. If I lived there full time it would be unbearable. With that in mind, for a place to lay your head near the major attractions it would more than suffice, especially with nose plugs or a nice head cold to block the smell.
