Tiziana was a wonderful host and the apartment was amazing! Our flight was running almost two hours late due to a storm and she was completely understanding and waiting for us when we got to the apartment. She carefully went through all of the instructions and gave us a tour of the apartment (and even came back when we couldn't figure out something, for which we are eternally grateful!). The apartment itself is gorgeous - pictures don't do it justice. It would easily be considered a 5 star hotel back here in the states (and those showers are amazing). We spent most of our time in the outdoor kitchen/patio area and it was a great feature to have in the mornings when we wanted to make a cup of tea or coffee and watch the sun rise. The location is great - it's two blocks from the metro station, two blocks from a grocery store/restaurants, and about a 15-20 minute walk from the colosseum. The only problem we had was with one of the air conditioners. It was broken upon our arrival and was not fixed during our 7 day stay, making one of the bedrooms unusable due to the the high temps/humidity in August (unfortunate, because we'd specifically picked this apt. so my mom and I could have separate spaces to sleep/get ready). That said, I imagine any other time of year it would've been fine and we made it work by sharing a bedroom. Overall though, I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay close to the metro but out of the hustle and bustle of some of the more touristy areas of the city.
