The flat is right in the heart of Rome, next to the beautiful Piazza Navona. We walked everywhere, including the Vatican and Colosseum. There are a lot of museums, churches and restaurants in the area as well as small supermarkets for necessities. We found a really nice caffe for breakfast, caffe Coromandel on the Via di Monte Giordano, 60 (only 5 minutes walk from the flat).

The flat is smaller than in the photographs but we were three adults and we had more than enough space. In the flat there is a washing machine, drying rack, iron and hair dryer. The air conditioner worked fine. We didn’t have much luck with Wifi but we didn’t need it. The flat is very old but we felt that was part of its charm.

The kitchen is small for cooking big meals but perfect for breakfast and light meals. It has fridge, cooker (one of the hot plates doesn't work), microwave and fridge. There is also cutlery and tableware. There is a moka pot for brewing coffee but there wasn't a kettle for boiling water for tea. Instead we just used a pot to boil hot water, which was fine for us.

The lighting on the staircase was working fine, as some of the previous tenants mentioned that there wasn’t any.

Make sure the host shows you how to open the sofa bed as its a bit tricky at first.

Marco always responded very quickly to our questions, we didn't meet him personally as a friend of his let us in.
