The apt smelled musty, had lots of marks on walls, and mold in laundry closet ceiling, washer, shower, and running below a light fixture. Needs repainting. The refrigerator door was partially screwed to a cupboard door but was loose so pulling the door open didn't open the fridge - you needed to pull the side of the door with 2 hands to open it. Freezer was full of frost and had a broken compartment door. Sink plug didn't stop water from running out kitchen sink, and counter top had several holes in surface. Of the 6 drapes over windows, only 2 had cords to tie them open. There was a metal panel under a window in the hall that had rusted holes in it. Several eating utensils and dishes were missing, or chipped. Floor outside one bedroom had been damaged and repair wasn't good so floor boards were lifted and bouncy. A light bulb was missing in master bedroom ceiling light.
Other than these maintenance issues, the place was great! We really appreciated all the space (great for our family of 6). Elevator worked. Bright open living/dining room was bigger than it looked in the photo. Fairly quiet for Rome! If the owner fixes the place up, this would be a real find. As it is I was disappointed.
