We truly enjoyed Edoard and Melani's Spanish steps loft. It was right smack in the middle of everything in the historic center and we walked to all the sites (including the Vatican). Since it was so central, it was very easy to go back and forth to the loft in the middle of our long days visiting the sites to re-charge before setting out again.
The apartment came well-equipped with all the necessities for our stay, and had the thickest of towels which is always a nice bonus. Although the space is a bit small, it was very well-planned and efficient. Others had commented on street noise from the nearby bar at night, and so we came prepared with ear plugs but did not use them at all!
Melani and Edoard were gracious hosts. Communication was always very prompt and helpful. Melani kindly arranged airport transfers for us and so those went very smoothly. Edoard was the one who met us at the apartment, he showed us how everything worked and gave us some very good recommendations for lunch and dinner options around the neighborhood.

All in all a very good stay in the middle of Rome. We would not hesitate to return and recommend to our friends.
