This is a sure find! The location of this apartment is unbeatable! Overlooking a gorgeous piazza, walking distance to colosseum and all the famous piazzas! We visited Gemma's place for 5 days with our 2 young children. We were met and welcomed by Mr Orlando who, despite not speaking too much English, he was very friendly and helpful! The view of the terrace was amazing and we had outside sofas to enjoy a glass of wine after the children went to bed! There is a supermarket open till late every day (even Sunday) just opposite and yummy breakfast goodies just downstairs! Children loved the traditional elevator:-)
My only minor issue was the shower, which did not have much water pressure and good temperature control but still adequate. Also, on occasions there was an unpleasant smell in the terrace but I think it was coming from the drains (it was a bit rainy when we visited so that doesn't help in an older building). But the terrace had 2 areas with tables and chairs that we could use so we just moved to the other one. The view of the illuminated basilica was AMAZING and more than made up for this!
Finally, although we didn't meet Gemma she really made an effort to communicate with us and make sure all was well. I totally recommend this place!
