I had a wonderful time in Emilia's studio! While I never interacted with Emilia directly, her mother was very welcoming and accommodating when I arrived a bit earlier than initially planned. The flat is located on an intimate vicolo that's quiet with minimal foot traffic but is just off of a major road, making it perfect for catching a bus or grabbing a taxi in a pinch. It's also right above the most amazing pizza place and around the corner from fab gelato and an express market for groceries!

The bed in the loft is VERY comfortable and there is also a futon in the main area. The apartment comes equipped with everything you'd need for cooking, etc. including little bonuses like a washing machine, iron, and blow dryer.

I found the water heater for the shower a little confusing (but I've never had to use one before) and if you stay during cold months, the studio's heating unit requires water to be emptied from a little tub that fills up when it is running, another first for me.

I would DEFINITELY stay here again. The flat is perfect and in such an amazing location! Piazza Navona is 5 minutes away and most other attractions in central Rome are within a 20-30 minute walk. It's also a short distance to the Tiber (perfect for catching gorgeous sunsets!) and Trastevere with its cute restaurants and bars. I booked this flat last minute and am so glad I did! It made my trip!
