Pros: The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect. Walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, shopping, restaurants, and much more. Very good communication from the hosts who helped answer our questions and arranged taxis for us. Very easy entry to the apartment (but you must have wifi or cell service to do so).
Cons: the photos of the apartment are somewhat misleading. The apartment is not in as good condition as the photos suggest. The bathroom was especially disappointing. There is mold growing inside and outside of the very small shower stall. The water heater seems to be missing a panel and all of the tubes and wires were exposed. The countertop in the bathroom looks bright white in photos, but definitely is not in person. Generally, the apartment (and the building for that matter) didn’t seem well maintained. In the bedroom, the material of the headboard is disintegrating and sloughed off on us during the night. We were only provided one pillow each and a top sheet; no blanket or quilt. There was conflicting information in the online listing, in the communications with the host, and materials in the apartment (ie. differing check out times & where to discard trash).
Ultimately if you aren’t fussy and want an extremely well located apartment (but don’t mind it being a bit long in the tooth), this place is perfect. But if you’re hoping for personal touches, even basic amenities (like a coffee maker, extra toilet paper, more than one pillow, and paper towels or dish towels), and a more boutique experience, this place is not for you.
