Staying at Lucia‘s apartment looking out on the side of the Pantheon worked very well for us. Lucia gave us a warm greeting although we didn’t meet in person but talked on the phone several times.
This location couldn’t be better for a host of reasons. First, it’s easy to get to key sites by walking and easy to find your way back. The Square in front of the pantheon is great for people watching and there are superb restaurants and gelato places right there. And when you want a quick lunch you can buy slices of pizza or other deli items right next door and take them upstairs to eat. You occasionally hear musicians performing—very fun!
As others have commented, the bedroom was quiet. In fact in the night, the main sound we heard was geese calling to each other. The bed was very comfortable.
We found the natural light in the living room a little dark, but the chandelier in the dining room brightened the whole central area. As with another Rome apartment we rented there was only one set of keys, but Lucia kindly offered to buzz us in remotely should we need it. (We didn’t.)
Given the many great advantages of this apartment we strongly recommend it.
