This apartment is located in a great area if you plan to spend time in the Vatican area. There is a fantastic restaurant (Sor Eva) located at the bus stop within 3 mins of the apartment. The Vatican was a short 10 min walk, the Castel Sant'Angelo was also about a 10 min walk. The Janiculum Terrace has amazing views of Rome and was about a 15 min walk.
Marco arranged transportation to/from the airport and we were picked up and dropped off on time. We were met by Elizabeth at check-in and she provided local information, such as grocery stores, restaurants and transportation. She was very helpful and has a pleasant attitude. She also explained the amenities in the house, where we could do laundry on the premises and where to dispose of trash.
The apartment was fantastic. We were there during the heat wave at the beginning of Aug 2018, so we were very thankful for the 3 air conditioning units in the home. (Life savers) The beds were all very comfortable, however the pillows could have used some updating. All of the appliances worked and we did not have any issues with anything inside the home.
Now for some of the bad news. The apartment building has some extensive renovations going on that we were unaware of prior to booking. The entry into the building is filled with materials for the renovations. Also, the entryway is very dark making walking in from the outside a little uncomfortable as you try to adjust to the darkness. There is a light in the room, however it is very dim and does little to help. We were there with a 70 year old individual and it was always concerning that she may trip on something in there.
The only other complaint we had was with the upstairs noise. The amount of noise coming from the upstairs apartment in the late hours of the night was excessive. I don't know if the walls/floors/ceiling are too thin, however we could hear talking and moving furniture late into the night. (after midnight). We assumed the tenants upstairs were also tourist as the noise disappeared on our last night.
Overall I think the apartment is really good. We would have rated this place as Excellent if not for the previous mentioned issues.
Thanks to both Marco and Elizabeth for their hospitality.
