Overall the apartment was great. It is 5 minutes away from the Colosseum which is pretty awesome. It is pretty close to some gay bars if that's important to you.
The apartment itself was very clean and seemed renovated and well furnished. The owner gave us a clean set of towels and replaced them once after 3 days. The owner was very nice in general and tried to help with whatever we needed. The kitchen had everything that we required (although it could have been cool to have a toaster oven as well).

Down sides:
- The WiFi in the apartment was TERRIBLE. It barely worked. definitely not for one person at a time. The owner said that this is how it is in these buildings. However, we did find good internet in other places in Rome (other bars, friends apartments). We used 3g instead which also isn't great in Rome but a must in an apartment with barely any WiFi.
- We also had some mosquitoes in the apartment if we left the windows open, but it wasn't a big deal.
