  : Trastevere is a magnificent neighbourhood and one of the best areas to stay in Rome, and the apartment is in a decent, quiet, and safe street. However, it is not near any metro stations and the bus stops are not that close - so bear in mind that getting to and from the apartment can be challenging with luggage. In addition, there is a hefty fee for early check-in of 20 euro (which was not available on my date anyway), and there is no luggage storage option (unless you are willing to pay 20 euro without early check-in, which doesn't make sense when you can use the luggage storage facility across the road for around 10 euro). There is also no 24-hour front desk as advertised. Stefano., the owner, is excellent with communicating and is fairly helpful - but this could not make up for the appalling service from his employee Francesco, or the overall dismal experience.
  : Francesco, who checked me in, was the rudest, most unpleasant, and most unhelpful person I ever met. In fact, his attitude was so disgusting and he spoke to me so badly that I contemplated leaving and finding somewhere else to stay - but after over 24 hours' of travelling and a whole day of waiting to check in, I unfortunately decided to remain and make the most of it.Perhaps this was my oversight, but I did not realise this was an apartment that had been sub-divided into three rooms. Personally I did not feel comfortable using the communal kitchen or sharing an apartment with complete strangers, but this was my choice as the option to do so was available. The other guests were also quite noisy at times, talking at the top of their voices at midnight followed by taking a bath, with the old pipes and running water making such a racket it could have woken the dead.My room (the single room) was extremely gloomy and despite the description on Booking.com stating that "all rooms will provide you with a city view", the only view was a dark, dingy, filthy courtyard filled with trash and noisy aircon units. I was therefore unable to open the door (there weren't any windows) or use the so-called "terrace", which was a huge problem as there were overwhelming paint fumes coming from somewhere (definitely not this room!) which were unbearableThe bed had a very old spring mattress that was sagging in the middle, and two pillows were stuffed into one pillow case, which was super uncomfortable. The bathroom was a good size but the shower cubicle was miniscule and there wasn't even a soap dish, so every time I wanted to get my toiletries, I had to open the door and the water splashed everywhere. Surely a cheap plastic shower caddy isn't too much to ask?

  : Great location and nice kitchen. Near to a lot of touristic places. Lots of restaurants are available around to eat.
  : The room was moldy. When I arrived the host opened the window because of the mold smell. Nothing else. I cleaned the mold from the wall myself with paper towel and a bit of soap. I have photos of before and after. Still this is not enough to get rid of the moldy smell of the room. I had to keep the window open for the whole time I was there otherwise it was not really possible to breath. Bathroom was also dirty and moldy. Needs a good cleaning. Please find the source of your mold and fix it before you continue to profit from renting this room to tourists. Keeping the window open meant a lot of noise all night and day coming in the room and bad sleep.

  : Obviously, you can't control the noise that comes from the outside or inside the building.

Very Good

  : The staff was very friendly, the room was clean, and the location is excellent. It is walking diatance to both central Rome, and to the Vatican. Around the building there are several bars and restaurants of good quality, and many on a reasonable price and great food.
  : The sofa-bed for kids was not the most comfortable, but was ok for a 4-night stay.
