We stayed In this apartment for a week with our 4.5 month old child. We think that it is a fantastic apartment in a great location in Rome. The host is fantastic and very easy to communicate with. She helped us with lots of issues and questions we had. We were allowed to drop our bags early which was a lifesaver with a little baby. We really loved our time in Rome.
The area is great for restaurants and cafes as well as amenities such as groceries and pharmacy. The area also has things like dry cleaners, beauticians and clothes shops all very close by too.
A closer review of the apartment itself:
Bedrooms
There are two big bedrooms with good storage and comfortable beds. There was a travel cot set up for us and it was beautifully made. The draw back on one of the beds is that the frame has a pole at the end that falls off and occasionally hit my foot - we ended up taking it off. When I contacted the host about it she explained that it is the design.
Living dining area
The living area is very comfortable- great sofa and fantastic TV and Wi-Fi for Netflix.
There is a very big dining table and comfortable dining chairs. The living area is beautifully decorated.
Bathroom
The bathroom is lovely and very well designed. It was a shower not a bath which is fine for older children and adults. There is shampoo conditioner and body wash provided. When we arrived the body wash was empty so we requested it be filled and the host obliged.
There is a baby bath that doubles up as a holder for the cleaning products. When we arrived it had not been cleaned so we couldn’t use it. The host did have it cleaned for us the next day and we were able to use it for the rest of the week.
Kitchen
The kitchen is well designed and has all that you need to make food. There is a good sized fridge and all the hobs work well. There is lovely olive oil and balsamic provided. We bought focaccia from the bakery across the road and used it with the oils and it was lovely. There is a coffee pod maker but there are not enough for your whole stay so you will need to buy extra.
There is a washer dryer which was brilliant for us with a little one. It worked really well and cleaned our clothes really well. Again you will need to buy additional laundry detergent if you stay more than a couple of days and have little ones where you have to do a lot more washing.
The building
The building is great - really good access and a lift that takes you to the apartment (luggage and pram etc). The host has remote access to allow you in which was great as she allowed us to do a bag drop earlier than check in time. Which with a baby was a lifesaver. The only thing I would say is that noise in the building travels a lot so can be quite noisy at points. However it was not a party apartment block and was not noisy past about 9pm.
