Overall, our stay at Jimmy’s apartment went really well. The apartment is big, very clean and practical, with a high ceiling, good A/C which is nice when you come back from a hot walking day in Roma and the terrace is great to relax, read or have a drink at golden hour. It is also very well equipped.
I generally do not appreciate to have too many interlocutors at an Airbnb and had to deal with Jimmy, Flaminio the owner and Ms Susan the cleaner. However communication was fluid and they were all very flexible : they arranged for an early checkin which was very convenient for us on our day of arrival.
A few details, more or less important, bothered us:
- the most important, and not Jimmy’s fault since the description says “close to Trastevere”, is that we found the apartment to be far from Roma center and thus not the best place to visit Rome for the first time. I get that the comments say it is well connected. But if you want to walk (because it is so nice to walk in such a beautiful city), there’s almost nothing around to visit or nice restaurants before a 20-30 minute walk. We were here in the middle of august which might explain why so the neighborhood was so empty but overall would recommend to be a little closer to actual Trastevere if you can afford it
- we did not appreciate to be warned of the presence of a huge scaffolding just a few days before our arrival while clearly it had been there for a while
- the fake grass on the terrace was not on the pictures and kinda ruined it for us from a photogenic standpoint (sad because the terrace is great!)
- we would have appreciated a bit more soap (especially liquid) to shower, but not a big deal
