This is a jewel of an apartment, tucked in a side street literally seconds from the Pantheon, it couldn't be better positioned to make the most of everything historic Rome has to offer. None of the major sites were more than 15 minutes walk away, and some (the Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps etc.) were only minutes away. Dozens of restaurants, pizzerias and osterias nearby meant eating out was no problem, and Serena not only gave us some great suggestions, but kindly reserved a table for us at an exceptionally popular osteria.
We were personally met on arrival by Mauro as Serena was unwell, and he patiently showed us everything the apartment had to offer, suggested places to visit, and was generally helpful and friendly. A lovely bottle of bubbly chilling in the fridge, and a welcome basket containing some bread, jam and crackers etc. made us feel at home from the start of our visit. The bathroom has recently been refurbished, so any comments about the shower arrangements in previous reviews can be ignored, as the new fully enclosed shower, with rain showerhead and coloured lights, worked perfectly! We hadn't expected to use the small balcony during our stay as it was February, but due to an unseasonably warm spell it came in handy and was a nice little spot for a coffee (or vino!) and a read.
Serena responded to any questions we had throughout our stay really quickly, and was quick to inform us of some work that was starting on the outside of our building towards the end of our stay, even though it didn't directly affect us.
The only negative thing I have to say about Rome is that every sidestreet, no matter how narrow, will probably have some traffic along it, and our street was no exception - just make sure you look left before stepping out onto the road outside the door!
