In the heart of old Rome, this apartment was exactly as described: super clean, close to every major site, shops & incredible restaurants; however, we love open windows and the employees of the fish restaurant at the end of the short alley love to smoke and leave trash there. Spouse and I are highly allergic to cigarette smoke; thus, the problem. I don’t think there is anything the lovely owners can do about this. If smoke bothers you, keep windows closed and use the excellent air conditioner. We hate saying anything negative about this place because if the smokers weren’t fouling the alley it would be a 5.
