Trastevere ten days
The property was very good in many ways--the location was interesting and convenient to restaurants yet very quiet. The space was well designed. We didn't cook, but the equipment--appliances, dishes, seemed quite good. We didn't much like the bed split in the middle, but it was adequate.
The heat didn't work for us, and we were cold part of the time. Although we were told it was easy to set the temperature, the thermostat didn't work as it was described. There was no natural light in the apartment, and the artificial light was harsh and uninviting. It would have been most unpleasant to spend time there during the day (we didn't). The lighting was set for photographing the property, not for living in it.
We used the clothes washer, but it was so humid our clothes didn't dry after days hanging on the rack provided. A clothes dryer is a necessity if you are going to wash clothes--or even use towels, as they never dry.
Still, the charge for the apartment was beyond reasonable. Management responded to our request for more towels while we were there (still not enough). Overall, the place was okay (but only okay).
The complaints I have didn't seriously impede our having a nice visit to Rome. Next time I will ask more questions though before relying just on pictures.
