The flat is charming and almost as good as the pictures. However, there are a few important shortcomings that managed to spoil our experience. Two are most important : (1) There is a general problem with plumbing, including the toilet flash that leaks and ultimately failed to operate, causing us a very unpleasant inconvenience, the shower that floods while one is taking a shower, which means that one must interrupt showering until the water is getting lower and a problem with taps in both sinks (bathroom and kitchen) which are spilling water on the user.
(2) In winter time this flat can get very cold, particularly at night (11pm-8am)
Communication was good and the managers were fair in reasuring a pleasant stay. However, the two problems above were not solved.
Distance from the monuments and places of interest in the city was surprisingly short, given that the flat is on the wrong side of the Tiber.
Criticism about the presence of a gaol opposite the building is largely unfair, since we never heard (as is described in some reviews) or noticed anything. The neighbourhood is peaceful and fairly pleasant, despite the absence of convenience stores (food, in particular) in the vicinity. Loads of restaurants and bars are situated in a moderate distance.
The owners had prepared a very helpful booklet with all practical information about the flat and the area.
Had it not been about the shortcomings in plumbing and heating, we would have had a very pleasant stay.
