The apartment was as described, all very clean, newly renovated, with everything we needed. It is on the second floor but that was no issue. The apartment is in a great location, near the Colosseum and public transport, but walkable to all areas, we never used public transport at all, walked everywhere. The apartment is above a restaurant (good restaurant, food and service great, worth a visit) and the area can be a bit noisy but you are in a city, so that is to be expected. There was some noise on occasion from the neigbours on the apartment stairs, but again this is an old building, so no real issue.
All in all, a great apartment, great location, host was always attentive to any request, would highly recommend.
