Not worth the money at all. Look elsewhere.
Pros: Large apartment with AC, close to the main sites.
Cons:
-it’s run down and doesn’t look like the photos. Dirty walls, curtains falling off, clogged shower heads etc. Shame as you can see it was once a beautiful apartment.
-you are given the absolute minimum, nothing extra for comfort, not even so much as a lamp to read in the living room.
-you are only given a thin sheet on the bed, there were duvets in the cupboard but they were visibly dirty with no covers.
-one of the beds is like a slab of stone and literally impossible to sleep on, it was like nothing I have ever experienced, we had to take turns sleeping on it because resting was impossible on that bed (especially with the noisy alleyway below)
-hosts didn’t provide us with accurate info about the keys and locks, meaning we had to call an Italian number each time to gain access, which wasn’t possible for an elderly person in our group who didn’t have international dialling on their phone, so we had to take a taxi home and let them in each time they wanted to rest.
-the kitchen is woefully unequipped. No kettle, toaster or oven. We were told to boil water on the stove instead, which takes about 20 mins. No idea why that was, maybe the hob is broken. My elderly father burned himself trying to boil water for tea in the microwave. We also bought bread, butter and jam for toast and had to throw it away unused- no toaster or oven.
-no drying rack for the washing machine
-the only toiletries provided were mini sachets of shampoo and not enough for the amount of guests we were- why even bother ?!
-there is a bad drain / toilet smell that wafts through the apartment. I understand it’s an old building but it’s very strong and unpleasant at times.
I made the host aware of all of these issues (and I can see other reviews mention similar things) and was just brushed off for everything except offering to send someone about the smell. This is clearly a business property, designed to drain money from tourists and offer the absolute bare minimum. The hosts are totally uninterested in feedback on how to make it comfortable for a pleasant stay. AVOID. There are much better Air BnBs in Rome! 👎
