We were met outside the building which was beautifully covered in trailing ivy by a nice gentleman who very kindly carried our bags up to the penthouse room. There was a lift from the first floor which went directly into our apartment which unfortunately wasn't working on arrival but I believe this must have been an unusual event as our host planned to take us up in it to find it wasn't working on that day. We were shown around the apartment and very pleased by the cleanliness and stylish decor. There are nice features such as a private rooftop terrace and beams on the ceiling inside the apartment. Security to the building seemed excellent and we felt very safe throughout our stay. The apartment itself was huge and we were impressed by this as photos don't do the place justice. We would definitely recommend as is in an excellent location, just 5 minutes walk from the Roman Forum and up to 10 minutes walk to the Coliseum but remains on a quiet street so you're not disturbed at night by noise from outside.
