This lovely apartment was exactly as it was presented. It is spacious, relatively updated and had all necessary amenities for comfortable stay, whether for business or vacation. It has lovely wood ceilings and a stunning stone mantelpiece. The air-conditioning was excellent (very important for this heat-intolerant northerner in Rome during the summer), the bed was extremely comfortable, wi-fi functioned perfectly, bathroom functional and clean and the location could not be better. It's right next to one of the most characteristic Renaissance streets in Rome, the Via Giulia, and just up the street from the atmospheric Piazza Farnese. It's within walking distance to pretty much anything a visitor to Rome would want to see, and there's a Coop grocery market 200m away on Vicolo della Moretta. Couldn't be easier! Despite its wonderfully central location, the apartment itself is extremely quiet.
The kitchen is tiny, but functional if you don't want to do any complicated cooking. There are about four high steps to get up to it, so it might be challenging for anyone with mobility issues, but the split-level architecture is part of the charm of these Renaissance-era buildings.
One of the standout treasures of the place is Lucilla herself, who is wonderful. She was so kind and thoughtful, even meeting me at my hotel several blocks away to help me with my ridiculous amount of luggage. She truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful - I really appreciated having some breakfast items provided so I didn't need to worry about that as soon as I arrived and rather could settle in and do my shopping the next day. I would happily rent any property that she is managing again, and hope to stay at this specific one the next time I'm back in Rome (I tried to book it again when I came back to Rome the following week after a business trip up north but it was already booked - darn!) Thank you, Lucilla, for an excellent experience and stay!
