First the good points about the apartment: (1) as advertised, it is large [4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms]; (2) it is quiet, with little street noise; (3) the beds are comfortable; (4) the location is great, in a neighborhood with many restaurants and very close to a metro station, and within walking distance of many of the major sights of Rome.
Now the downside: (5) There was insufficient places to put clothes, only a wardrobe (with broken floor) in one bedroom, a small chest of drawers in another, and a broken rack to hang clothes in a hallway. I have NEVER rented an apartment which was so poorly furnished.
(6) The quality of the host's responsiveness to issues brought his attention was poor. I give three examples:
(a) The lock on one of the doors of the apartment was broken when I arrived. I was told it would be fixed 'soon'. Supposedly, it was fixed a few days later. However, none of the keys I was given to the apartment worked on the 'fixed' lock, nor was I given a new key for the 'fixed' lock.
(b) One of the bulbs over the wash basin in one of the bathrooms was burned out when I arrived. I reported this several times, but the bulb was never replaced.
(c) The bulb in the ceiling light fixture of the room which serves as a living room and dining room burned out on March 24. I reported this on March 25 by text and asked that the bulb by replaced as soon as possible. It was not replaced by the time I left on March 28.
