The location of the flat is very good for exploring Rome.
It is right on top of the restaurants but the double glazed windows keep all sounds out.
The air conditioning in the bedroom was a real blessing for cooling the room down before sleeping when it suddenly got very warm.
Overall I had a good stay at the flat.
Communication with Luca was very good.
The check-in was very good and efficient. Just ask very clearly about where to drop off the rubbish.
I never figured it out and dropped mine off at work everyday.
When I first arrived, I was somewhat disappointed though: as stated, the flat is quiet - but only if the windows are closed. When I looked at the pictures during my booking I overlooked the photos that showed the restaurants right below the living room window. I like sleeping with all windows open and have light come in in the morning - both did not work for me. In the photos, the flat looked a lot lighter - especially in the bedroom area - than it really was.
For myself, I would not book it again because I was looking for something different.
But: I can really recommend it for anyone who would like a really central experience of Rome, feel the hustle and bustle below and be able to shut it out by closing the windows. For that the location is great. All essential shops are close by, as well as the obvious restaurants. There is a super Raw Chocolate place called Grezzo on the next Piazza. You can walk everywhere very easily.
The kitchen has lots of cutlery and china and really good knives! I was very happy with the bathroom and the shower. The washing machine worked well - although even the short cycles do take a long time. Rosie brought an ironing board for me which was great too.
The only other warning: it is in the Ghetto!
If you travel with a lot of luggage or heavy items be aware that taxis are no longer allowed to drive into the Ghetto at any time. They can take you fairly close to the apartment but you do have to walk and carry a certain distance over Roman cobblestones. So make arrangements for a private driver who will be willing to help you with the luggage. It makes a huge difference! Luca arranged for a very nice driver to meet me at the airport. He took my suitcases right up to the front door.
Last, the apartment is on the first floor. There is no lift.
