The host communicated with us via text and was very responsive as we updated our arrival plans. We were greeted in person (late at night) and given all instructions needed. The apartment was very clean, free of clutter, and modern. It had a beautiful view, and was very quiet despite being in a lively neighborhood. It had a great bathroom and even a washing machine! It is up lots of stairs but what better way to burn off all the pasta we were eating? My only feedback is that the mattress was fairly hard, but that will suit some. We slept fine. Overall, it was a wonderful base from which to explore Rome for the first time.
