I stayed in this place for 8 nights. The best thing about this apartment is the location, and absolutely wonderful, and kind Valentina who helps Andrea manage this place. Though the apartment is in Campo di Fiori, almost on its doorstep, i slept with open windows, ok with light earplugs, but I think even without would have been ok on weekdays. Some fab bakeries and eateries right on your doorstep. Since I stayed a while, a highlight locally is fantastic wine bar with fab food, Il Goccetto, and across the Tiber, Le Mani in Pasta, Piro Osteria di Pesche in Vicolo Cancellaria brilliant seafood place, all within 5-10min from the apartment, and fab Japanese Shiroya literally 20m from your door serving very authentic cuisine with grilled eel to die for. Not to mention bars and wonderful vibe of Campo di Fiori outside your door, market during the day, and fab hopping place at night.
Specific positives: fantastic roof terrace with fab view of Rome, even the tip of St Pietro (Vatican) across the roofs. Really effective and very quiet airconditioning, a lifesaver in 37C heat when I had to work from the apartment. Really good internet that works even on the roof terrace, so if like me, you have to work from the apartment, including on video, it will be fine. Valentina made sure that I had at least some sharp knives eventually, as what is at the apartment is an absolute minimum. Be mindful that this is VERY MUCH a flat for 2 people, so you quite literally get 2 wine glasses and that is it, and so on. The amenities for cooking leave a lot to be desired, but there is enough now, especially after Valentina kindly trekked in the heat to get some semblance of normal kitchen knives, good enough to make a Caprese etc. Kitchen is new and efficient. Fridge effective for you to keep your market purchases and the wine from the place next door. Super kind and caring housekeeping, they did such a great job.
The negatives, not a proper bed, though what is there is comfortable enough, it is essentially frame sitting on the floor with some matressing on it, top one constantly sliding as it is thin and not big enough for the whole bed. If you like your beds soft and big higher, this is not it, but if like me, you like them quite firm, this will be very comfortable. Shower and bathroom is tiny, and old, everything is bit shaky and shonky, the towel rail nearly falling apart, the toilet roll holder that is broken with roll falling off into the water that gets out after you shower and it is not really water proof. The overhead shower does not work, it clearly has been broken and leaked, shonkily done up, it prevents shower door from closing, so you have to hold its head in order to shut the shower door. Water in the marble sink does not drain properly, but hopefully they will fix it. I had to ask for cushions for the terrace dining table, as they overheat in the heat and are impossible to sit on without burning your skin, so that is now fixed. The sun lounges have literally nothing on them, they are 70s style white chaises, not the ones in the photo, very comfortable but again they overheat in full sun, and really uncomfortable. I asked for extra towels which excellent housekeeping left me, and I layered those over the chair over the duvet cover underneath, then they are very very comfortable.
Lastly, it is COVID times, I feel confident judging from two visits by housekeeping that they do brilliant job, so you have nothing to worry about from previous guest, but do keep in mind, there are next to no amenities at the place. Tiny soap in the bathroom, but no antibacterial wash, there was when I left proper alcoholic sanitiser (I asked for handwash but got sanitiser, so that is hopefully still at the apartment). Carrefour supermarket is about 10min walk, so be prepared to buy proper shampoo, conditioner, paper towels (though I left an extra roll behind that I bought, olive oil, herbs, spices, salt and sugar etc. Nespresso machine in the photo is not functioning, there is no tea, coffee or anything at all at the flat. I stayed in another Airbnb for a week prior to this one, and they left a kit at the flat with mask, sanitiser, there was antibacterial wash everything to make you feel comfortable. There was oil, and other basics at the flat, this one had nothing so since I was staying 8 nights I went shopping for all the basics. I had no problem doing that, as I took everything with me, but just be aware that if you think you will buy something at the market and be able to make a salad, then not before you go supermarket shopping. There are plenty of plates though, and a couple cups and plenty of water glasses, so with basics bought you should be able to economise on a few lunches or dinners if you are staying for a while. Overall, very positive and lovely experience, due to location, and excellent service from Valentina. If you have any issues, like I did when the door jammed and I couldnt get in for half an hour, do not call the number airbnb sends you, you will get NO answer, I tried on a few occassions, they just dont pick up, even when you text, but Valentina on her mobile, which you will hopefully get, answers within minutes, she and the location is why I would happily stay in this apartment again.
