First I have to mention that Riccardo was a FANTASTIC host. He was very responsive to every message I sent, tried to help us out in any way possible, and just overall made the stay very comfortable.
The apartment is large. It was perfect for our family of 7 (5 kids including one infant). He was able to make sure the baby had a bed and the rest of the kids were extremely comfortable in their rooms. The kitchen had enough in it for us to run to the store and get basics to be able to make breakfast in the mornings. And the table was perfect for meals we had at the apartment.
We had a small issue with the washer, but Riccardo took care of it immediately.
The apartment is older and the showers are tiny, but honestly for the price you pay for this apartment and the space you have it was perfect. 5 min walk to the metro, colosseo down the road just a few minutes, it was perfect for our trip.
*Just one note- if you have littles don't forget Rome does start things later in the evening, so we were able to hear neighbours moving around and making noise late at night. Sound machines were very helpful. *
