Loved this apartment which my cousin had stayed at a few months before and recommended. The terrace is such a lovely place to eat dinner, relax, etc. It's quite large and has comfy chairs. You can see the Colosseum at the bottom of the hill, a 10 minute walk. Easy to go see when lit up at night.
The elevator works.
(Two amazing architectural churches are within 5 minutes on the same street as the apartment. St John Lateran and San Clemente are both fabulous but San Clemente is a 12th c church on top of a 300s church on top of a pagan altar....incredible excavations and not crowded! )
The living room/dining area is spacious with a pull out sofa and a large table. We cooked in the kitchen and ate on the terrace. There is a friendly café right outside the building and we picked up pastries there in the AM. Also has GOOD pizza!
Notes: We bought Omnia passes online. There are only a few places to pick them up in Rome but St John Lateran is one of them so we just walked there to get them. No waiting. FYI...you cannot order Borghese Gallery tickets online IF you are going to use the Omnia pass there. You have to call Borghese to get them. This is something Omnia does not tell you before you buy.
Also, The Vatican Museum is free with the pass but you have to set up a time with them and meet at their office at St Peter's and yes, you do skip the line but then have to go to a left side ticket booth in the museum and meet your 'facilitator'....so it is all not as easy as it seems....but still worth it to skip the lines! We sailed right in to the Colosseum. The hop on hop off bus and other public transports are free with this pass and we used those many times... can even get to St Peter's with it.
Uber Black is alive and well in Rome.
Re: The Borghese Gallery...you have to have a timed ticket but even if you are not an art lover this is a wonderful place. Not too large or crowded with many WOW pieces. It is in a beautiful park with a zoo and restaurants. You can take a tram ride through the park for 3 euro...very relaxing after a day of walking.
We were six adults and this apartment worked very well for us. I would definitely go back . Ciao!
