Loredana was an absolutely fantastic host! Although her English was not strong you could tell she was a geniunely warm and friendly person who was very helpful to us and was just so nice! We arrived very late (after midnight) due to some delays and were 45 mins late to arrival time but she was still there and did NOT charge a pesky late arrival fee which a lot of people do in Rome. We apologised profusely but she was in no way annoyed, just very sympathetic and understanding.
The apartment has been renovated VERY nicely, the outside is just typical but the inside is all very modern! It is very spacious inside and very clean. The kitchen has all kind of tools you might need and there's also a guidebook handy to borrow. Loads of hangers to wash your hanging on! The location was great too, just a quick walk to the Vatican museums entrance and the metro.
You can hear a little bit of traffic noise so bring earplugs if you need complete silence to sleep but closing the shutters does help. It is an apartment so you might hear some stairs/upstairs footsteps when people with heels walk around but we didn't hear any voices or other noise from other apartments which is good enough! (Good luck finding a completely quiet place in Rome... ) FYI There is an initial mini flight of stairs to get to the elevator which is very common here for some reason, in case you need a completely step free place (also good luck finding that in Rome!)
Loredana was very flexible in regards to our checkout time and also gave us a receipt for the extra city tax (typical for Rome, receipt not so much). She seemed very organised, professional and was very flexible.... just great!
I don't often do this but I WOULD stay again here because we had a really nice stay and we regret not staying longer!
