We were shocked at the amount of space when we walked in. This place was such a good value - hands down beats staying in a hotel in my opinion. There's plenty of space and the layout makes it feel large for a 1-bedroom. The apartment has high ceilings and great floor space. Kitchen is a little small but has everything that you need. The check-in process was outstanding and we were given all the information we needed to have a successful stay in Rome. The location is perfect - right outside is the Colosseum, several restaurants and bars, and very close to the train and bus stations. The apartment has a great remodeled bathroom with a washing machine which helps if you're taking an extended stay and need to do laundry (there's no dryer though, which I know is common in Europe, however, during our stay it rained often and it made it difficult to dry our clothes so they acquired a little mildew smell). The bed is very comfortable - we slept like babies every night. The bedroom leads to a charming little balcony for coffee, reading. The apartment faces the street but the windows are so well constructed that we never heard street noise. To be objective the cons of the place were: too much soap on the sheets (the smell was overpowering the first night), the gym or a nearby apartment blasted music that you could hear through the walls extremely loudly in the afternoon, and wifi signal was non-existent in the bedroom (had to go to the living room to get a signal). I can't stress enough how amazing we felt this place was. It was a tremendous value and I'd stay here again any time I came to Rome. Easy 5 Stars.
