Polly was an excellent host. She arranged the car service, greeted us when we arrived, took our bags upstairs, showed us the place, then gave us recommendations. One of the best hosts we’ve experienced.
As for the place, it’s absolutely lovely. There’s one area that has a little love seat, bistro set and kitchen (it has everything you’ll need plus espresso pods). Next to the kitchen is a bathroom, the shower is on par with other European sized showers. You’ll have everything you need in there, washer and clothes line and pins (no dryer but was good for us. We used the washer, worked great).
Then you go down a hall and it opens up to a really big bedroom with exposed wooden beams and very tall ceiling. We used the ac, it worked so well we had to turn it off! The bed was very comfy and we had more than enough storage for two people staying 6 days.
We were worried about the noise from the square, but don’t be! The windows are like 6 inches thick and sound proof. But you can still open them to let the noise in if you want! Also if you close them the room is completely dark.
As for location, absolutely perfect. The square is wonderful at night. It’s far enough away from the tourist areas but close enough to walk. Here are some walking times:
Piazza Navona: 5 min walk
Pantheon: 5-10min
Jewish sector: 5min
Trastevere: 10-15min
Colosseum/forum: 30min
Popolo: 30min
Vatican: 25-30min
Termini: 30-35min
