We stayed here five nights and found the apartment spacious and comfortable. It appears a bit more refined in photos than in real life. However, for the money, it is acceptable.

The master bedroom is nice and romantic, although the pillows are old and in need of refreshing. There are no dark blinds, so you will wake with the sun. If you need to visit the bathroom during the night, you must descend a spiral staircase to do so.

The outside private patio is large, with tables and chairs. You can sit in the sun or under shade. It is quite lovely.

The neighborhood is the star attraction here. There are many restaurants, cafés, and shops right outside the building. It is completely safe and charming. From the apartment, we walked very easily to Piazza Navona, Pantheon and Spanish Steps. We also walked to the Colliseum and Vatican, although those were very long walks.

Now for some negatives.

At check-in, we said we wanted our son to sleep on the common area futon. Our check-in person told us to pay €15 for the privilege of getting sheets and a pillow for the futon. This is not stated in the listing, nor was this communicated when we rented the place. After a slight argument, we paid the €15. However, it took them 24 hours to deliver the sheets and pillow, although they promised to deliver the same day.

The apartment is on the "fourth" floor. However, many buildings in Italy consider that the ground floor is floor "zero." Therefore, as Americans would describe it, this apartment is located on the fifth floor. In total, you must walk up 68 stairs to get to the apartment. Once there, you ascend a spiral staircase to the master bedroom and terrace. I am 47, and found the stairs quite difficult, especially with luggage.

There is one air conditioner on the main level, and one in the master bedroom. They work well, but we had to run the main floor unit nonstop to maintain a comfortable temperature.

There is one small bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. As other reviewers have noted, sometimes you will have hot water in the shower, and sometimes not. The owners have responded to many similar reviews, stating that "perhaps the renters pressed a button behind the microwave that shuts off the hot water." There IS a button behind the microwave that shuts off the hot water, but we never pressed it during our stay. And yet sometimes we had hot water and sometimes we did not. It is just one of those things that you will have to deal with if you rent here. The hot water heater in the building is probably not adequate to serve all of the apartments. Anyway, we ended up taking very brief showers, to try to ensure that each family member would have hot water.

Note that the listing states that there is a hair dryer. However, we could not locate it.
