We had a great time at Valentina's apartment in December! There were only two of us but since it was off season I wanted to splurge and get us both our own beds and bathrooms. Both bathrooms are beautiful with tile mosaics. We didn't cook in the kitchen but you definitely could. We enjoyed having both the electric teapot and the coffee maker in the mornings. There is a washing machine in the kitchen as well (no dryer), which was great for doing a small load since we were in Italy for a week. She has two other apartments that are connected by a small vestibule so this set-up would be perfect for a large group. The apartments are on the third floor (4 for us Americans) but there is a small elevator that was great for bringing the luggage up and down. It looks old but don't be scared - it runs perfectly. Otherwise we took the stairs. Beware the beds are VERY firm but that's just a personal preference thing. I slept great anyway, though it was nice to return home to my pillowtop. We didn't use the balcony much since it was cold, but it was nice to be able to step out to gauge the weather and just look around. In warmer months it would be nice to sit out there for awhile. It's quite narrow but there is a little two-person table outside you can sit at. The location is great - close enough to walk to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, etc, but a quieter neighborhood. It can still be loud at night with garbage trucks going by and traffic, but that's Rome. I had no trouble with it but others may want to bring earplugs. Valentina had great restaurant suggestions in the neighborhood, which she provides upon check in. I'd definitely recommend staying here!
