The host was very responsive and available to answer questions. The apartment is small, but very cozy and accommodating considering where it is located, which is in the center of the very popular Lungotevere area. The pictures are a good representation of the apartment. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need. It is very "lived in", full of beautiful posters, books, movies, music, cable (great!), and an amazing stereo system. My only issue was the noise in the evening, which is of course expected considering where it is located, as it is a very popular area; but I am particular when it comes to noise at night, so this may not apply to you. It is certainly bustling with energy so it is pretty much part of the experience of staying in the center of Rome. Thanks, Carla for letting us stay in your apartment.
