Roman Forum - Margie. Date of travel: Oct 2006
We booked 5 nights at this apartment through the webpage homelidays.com and were very disappointed. Although the location is very convenient for exploring the Forum area, the Elvira House apartment is very shabby and run down. The apartment's only bathroom (extremely tiny) is in the kitchen which is very awkward. After we arrived, we were told that we had to wait 30 minutes between showers because of the shower drain. This is very inconvenient when traveling with several people. The furniture was very old and worn and was covered with equally worn blankets and sheets. The floors are warped and uneven. We were given towels that should have been called rags, they were so threadbare. The apartment does have air conditioning but to use it you must empty the water canister every 3 hours. If you are looking for an apartment rental near the Forum in Rome, I am sure there are far nicer places than this decrepid apartment.
