The apartment was pretty cool, very interesting and historical. However there was a strong mildew smell and I believe there may have been mold in a few places, we ran the dehumidifier and that helped with the smell. Just remember it's a basement apartment so it's to be expected somewhat. The bathroom was a little weird with the toilet pretty much in the shower, it got wet every time we took showers. I still enjoyed the place and the location made things easy to get around. We used the hop on hop off bus which included tickets for the Vatican and Colosseum, which made it worth it, and there was a stop just down the street from the apartment. Marco was also very helpful, I asked him questions throughout the trip and he always responded quickly and was very polite and nice to us. He is a great host.
