My husband and I had an enjoyable stay at Carmela's place. It's in a great part of Rome - walking distance to pretty much all the main sights and surrounded by great restaurants, bars and gelaterias. The apartment is nice and spacious and the little balcony was great for 2 people. One thing to note is that the bathroom can only be accessed through the bedroom, so if you're planning a stay with more than 2 people that's something to keep in mind. We dealt mainly with the host's colleague Francesco. Contact was good for the most part. Would recommend this place (and the stairs really aren't that bad).
