We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the two bedrooms and the kitchen. Also, all three of these rooms had windows that open to the outside rather than a courtyard so when the outer shutters are open there is a light airy feel to the place.
The kitchen was a real treat as it actually had counter space for cooking. There is a full stove, a dishwasher and even though it was a bar fridge it was a good size. The coffee maker with pods (easier to buy than capsules) was much appreciated. Most of our other accommodations provided salt and pepper, olive oil and either balsamic glaze and/or vinegar - this place sadly, did not. Also, there was no frying pan. Perhaps after this review some of these things will be added.
Our only negatives are the 72 steps to get up to the place and the cramped bathroom. The tub is almost unusable as a shower because the base is rounded. There is a small ledge about 3 inches from the bottom that presumably is some sort of seat? We are a couple in our early 70's (much fitter than most as we hauled 65lb each of luggage up the 72 steps) but we found the tub dangerous. Also, when we turned on the handheld shower, the tap still leaked straight hot water so it was a challenge not to get burned. The toilet is on an angle in the corner so if you're a large person (luckily we are not) you will be rubbing up against the paper holder. I provide this level of detail in the hopes that the owner will upgrade the bathroom to match the quality of the rest of the place. Younger people may not be concerned and the nice roomy kitchen might compensate.
As for location, it was exactly what we had hoped for. It was a quick 1/2 hour walk to the Forum/colosseum. There is a grocery store about 1/2 km away and plenty of little restaurants/bars in the neighbourhood.
