The positives of this place are the liveliness of the Santo Spiriito community on the south side of the river and the spaciousness of the rooms. The apartment itself presented challenges, some ofwhich are beyond the host's control - for example, the very steep stairs and the noise levels of street life- and some which could be addressed with some care and attention to details. None of the doors can be closed to provide privacy; the oven did not work; only two towels were provided for 3 people for 3 days; there was no toaster or salt shaker or hairdryer or kleenex or dish soap. The wifi did not work. The TV was only in Italian. And even the host did not know how to operate the remarkably confusing shower. There were bare bulbs glaring in your eyes and no easy chair in the living room. Not a great place to relax and hang out. The host admitted he had never stayed there himself. Perhaps if he did, he could experience what it is like from the point of view of a guest and offer some needed improvements.
