Pros of this flat are firstly the great location! Only 20 minutes walk to the colosseum and fantastic restaurants where all the locals eat only 5 minute walk away! These were the main highlights for us! Also, the bed was extremely comfy and the flat was very clean.
However, for the first 2 days we did not have hot water which was a huge disappointment as after a long day of travelling and sightseeing a warm shower was needed! However, Fredrico was extremely fast at replying and very quickly organised a technician to fix the problem.
Additionally, the flat does not look exactly like the pictures.. it is not as vibrant or new- looking as I was expecting. And the small kitchen (although fine to make quick meals/ snacks) does not look anything like the pictures. It is a lot more worn, darker and less amenities. The flat in general needed some fresh paint and updates such as curtains were torn and hole in the wardrobe, etc. These little things do make a big difference to the feel of the flat. So i was slightly disappointed when first entering the flat. However saying that we didnt spend much time there as there is plenty to see in Rome! So it was good for the location and a place to lay your head!
Fredrico’s friend who checked us in Matteo was very friendly and helpful with showing us the maps and where the sights were. However, could have been told/ shown a few more details. Such as when first trying to leave the flat we did not know what keys locked which doors (as you are given a set) it would have definitely been helpful to been shown! As you had to turn it anticlockwise and 3 times before it would lock - something I think that should have been previously mentioned!
Also Fredrico & Matteo did leave us a bottle of red wine upon arrival which was greatly appreciated!
Another thing to note is there is about 6 flights of stairs to the apartment, so please be aware! It was fine for us but someone who is not able to do a lot of stairs this would not be suitable.
Overall a issues that were disappointing, but a good stay, good night sleep and a great location.
Thank you Fredrico.
