Location is right in the heart of Rome- steps from the Trevi Fountain. We felt very safe and it was always easy to find our home base being so close to a major attraction. This apartment is spacious and the air conditioning works extremely well, which we appreciated in July! I would say that the experience felt more authentic in comparison to some of the more updated places we have stayed. For example, the bathroom are older and the unit only has 2 showers. The primary bedroom with en suite, while very spacious, does not have a shower. So if this is important to you, it is something to consider. Also, we could not work the espresso machine ( quite possibly user error!) in the mornings, so we needed to wait until restaurants opened around 7:30 to get our coffee.
