  : Pros: *Airport transportation arranged by the property and he was there on time and easy to find. **Perfect Location in the heart of beautiful Rome *3 doors to go through to get to the room - all with good locks so it felt safe. *Small washing machine seems to work well. Detergent pods provided. *No dryer but heated racks in the bathroom work well for a limited amount of clothes. *Nice updated bathroom with plenty of space for toiletries. *Good water pressure and temperature. Shower door fully enclosed so no water splashing on the floor like in many places. *Pretty good WiFi *Beds have foam mattress which I normally don't care for but these were reasonably comfortable. Not too hard like so many Roman beds are. *Extra pillows and blankets provided. *Plenty of closet space and dresser space for clothing.
  : Cons: *Entryway is scary for those not used to Rome's old buildings. Lots of graffiti all around. Door is old, dark and low. No markings or sign to show you're in the right place. *The person who met us spoke little English and had difficulty understanding his instructions. The property should provide a detailed written instruction list in renter's language. *After entering the first door we had to climb stairs to the second floor that were dark, worn, uneven and difficult to traverse. The steps were worn in the middle and sloped down making them even more difficult when carrying luggage. There was an odor in the stairwell. At the top of the stairs was another locked door leading to a short hallway. There was no light in that area until you walked far enough to trigger the motion -sensitive light. The door to the the apartment was in that hallway. **The worst feature: A VERY strong, perfume was used in the apartment that was almost unbearable and extremely unpleasant. We came very close to leaving at that point. Fortunately we could open the windows but it was 3 days before the smell faded significantly. Sometimes there was an underlying sewage smell but it was very faint. *The kitchen is a cheap, ugly addition. Looks much better in the photos. The coffee maker was unreachable and there was no coffee available. There was an espresso maker that we could not figure out how to work. No instructions. The cooking utensils looked like they came out of a garage sale. Chipped, old skillet. *AC/Heater system in each room but we were unable to get it to work well. Again, no instructions. *Very few toiletries provided. Shampoo and TINY soaps. No body wash, lotion, Kleenex. *Needs a DEEP cleaning desperately! *Weirdest: Walls don't go to the ceiling so there is clear plexiglass to make up the 2 ft difference. When the bathroom light is turned on at 2am the whole apartment lights up! Lots of noise from the street at night.

  : The location was excellent for walking and the apartment was quiet for sleeping. It was good value for our family of 6Roberto was available to answer any questions, and also to greet us when we arrived. If he had not been, we would never have recognized our outer door!Rome was exceptionally hot, but we were very comfortable when we returned to our rooms from seeing sites.
  : No real concerns. The outer door key is tricky to master, but nothing that we could not manage.

  : Great property and the location was really central to many of Romes attractions.
  : Only detraction was the shower didnt drain properly and so you would end up standing in dirty water.

  : We had a bad experience with the owner of this apartment. We had been in Venice previously and my special needs son had left a cherished toy in our Venice apartment. The hosts were very kind and offered to mail it to us in Rome. I contacted our host in Rome and asked him for a mailing address and explained the situation to him. He said that was perfectly fine and we could receive a package there. The day it was due to arrive I reached out again to our host and asked him where packages were commonly left at the apartment and he told me delivery to the apartment was impossible, that they dont receive deliveries. I asked him why he didnt tell me that the week previous when I had asked him for a mailing address. At that point he accused me of thinking we were living in a hotel and he should be at our beck and call. It was like the conversation we had had the week before never took place. I begged for him to help us by calling a neighbor or local shop who could put a note on our door for us to tell the courier to deliver the package to them and we could pick it up later (because we were touring the Vatican at the time and couldnt make it back to the apartment) and he said he could do nothing and refused to make any calls or do anything himself. He then blamed me for not knowing how the Italian post system works, while he was the one who told me we could receive a package at that address in the first place. I was rightfully very upset at his lack of communication to me and graciousness as a host. I told him I would write a review about how he had treated our family. He laughed and said Go ahead! This is not a human being with a good heart. I would never do business with someone like this again. There are many good people in Italy who are willing to go the extra mile. Know that if you have a special situation come up and need advice or help this man will not be there for you and will laugh at your plight.

  : This lovely apartment is ideally located near the center of Rome. It is steps away from the Campo deli Fiori. It is an easy walk to Trastevere and to the major tourist sites, Piazza Navonna and the Pantheon. Many of the other major sites are all within walking distance or easily assessable by public transportation. You can't ask for a better location. The apartment itself appears exactly as it does on the web. The rooms are good sized considering this is Rome. The seating area is comfortable, the kitchen well supplied, and the bathrooms modern with great showers.
  : We have no suggestions here.
