Ok a nice location with a very small but useful elevator. The bedrooms are spacious with ensuite baths very nice for friends and family traveling together. Very small kitchen and communal areas with kitchen table and chairs, fridge and stove top. Functional but not comfortable.
Cons were sewer gas very noticeable especially in one bathroom, this is a common smell in many Italian cities but we do not like it in the apartment, this needs help.
Bare bulb hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen ugly at best and dangerous at worst.
Alessandro met us at the entrance and showed us around and helped with our luggage, he speaks Italian but we did pretty much understand each other.
One strange twist was that Alessandro actually canceled our last payment on VRBO and made us pay cash for the bulk of the cost. This we were aware of ahead of time and it worked out ok, just had to get cash from nearby atm's and felt a little strange.
We were picked up at the airport with a big van which we had arranged with Alessandro and we booked a return trip that never showed which led to a big issue with us getting to the airport and Alessandro actually drove us there in his car, so a big disconnect.
My opinion is nice location. And try to enjoy Rome despite the inconvenience of the apartment and owner.
