Host was very accomodating and met us after we were six hours late at the airport, and again, on departure, at 0630 in the morning, bringing a taxi along with her.

You will have no difficulty visiting Rome from this location, as it is approximately 100 feet away from Piazza Navona, and maybe 15 feet from the first restaurant, followed by another 25 before you even hit Navona! That puts you within easy walking distance of the Spanish Steps, Campo di Fiore, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain (in repair right now) and most of the other city-centric sites. You may wish to take a cab to the coloseum, but that's an individual call.

If there is a problem, and it is truly minor, the address is tucked away in a narrow 'vicolo' (small alleyway) and the taxi drivers all seem to resent getting into that location. But for the cab that Laura brought with her on departure date, the best three others could do was put you within about 50 to 60 feet from the doorway. Not bad at all if you've already dealt with your luggage, but a bit of an issue if you have to transport 4 or 5 bags, as the drop zone is out of sight of the front doorway, so you'll have to leave a guard at your bag drop until you get down to the last few items. We were moving 4 cases of wine, so it was hammered home --- this is not the fault of the Host nor of the location --- it's a taxi issue. We rent cycles in Rome and we did not have any real issues getting into the location, although 2-wheelers have easier access than 4 wheelers. The beauty of the location is its proximity to a multitude of stores and restaurants, and of course that's what hinders in-coming traffic. Probably a "good thing" when you think about it.

PS: no noise AT ALL, so do not worry about the human density in the area. You are on the second floor of a well-ensconsed retrofit, and walking up to the unit is easy, using the air conditioning (a must in the summer) is easy, and finding all the light switches is easy: figuring out exactly what each switch governs by way of lighting will take several flips, but there is plenty of light available.

Interior space is faithfully reproduced in the photographs, and is very elegantly accomplished for both architectural design and user convenience. It is a very interesting space and everyone should try a few nights just for the educational aspects.

Probably best for 2 people, although a third (and even a fourth) well-known guest or family member can easily be fit in on the second story, but that cramps the facilities for the main couple. No tub, so that's a consideration for some.

All in all, a very favorable stay and an exceedingly gracious hostess. We recommend this unit highly.
