Our family of four had a fantastic 3 night stay. Let me start by saying that Frederico was the best host we have had to date. We have stayed in a number of rentals through Airbnb or VRBO. More than other, Frederico took an interest in us. He was extremely responsive and available, yet unobtrusive. He went above and beyond by coordinating reliable and comfortable transportation to and from the airport.
The apartment itself is beautiful. It is only one flight up. An elevator is available, but really only needed when checking in and out with luggage. There was plenty of space and a good blend between original details and modern amenities.
The location is outstanding. It is near the Spanish Steps and walkable to just about everything, including great restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The neighborhood is prime - very high end.
The only negative was the noise. The front of the apartment attracts noise from the 24/7 grocery store due to frequent deliveries. Noise from the back of the apartment comes from the beautiful birds as well as from the neighbors spending time outside late at night as well as early in the morning (before 6 am). The neighbor above can also be loud, particularly when playing music. Note that none of the noise affected our sleep, though potential guests that are more sensitive to noise should take note. Also, the price of the space relative to the value is outstanding, so accepting some noise for an otherwise perfect apartment for a good price may be a worthwhile trade off, as it was for us.
All in all, a five star experience and a place we would happily return to if we find ourselves in Rome again.
