The apartment was an oasis in a very hot and hurried Rome experience. It is such a beautiful apartment. And very large. The air conditioning felt so good after a day out sightseeing in near 100 degree temperatures. But it was silent so we did not hear it at al The terrace is lovely and we had a glass of wine out there at the end of our day. We also used the washing machine and the handy clothes drying rack outside on the terrace had our clothes dry by the next morning. We were only there one afternoon to the next but I would have loved to stay longer. Nicolo was a warm and personable host offering us many suggestions for our stay in Rome. And saving us a parking space in front of the apartment was so thoughtful and appreciated. I would not stay anywhere else if we ever come back to Rome. And I highly recommend this apartment!!!!
