We travelled to Rome with 2 kids, and this was the perfect place for us - much better than staying in a hotel. The apartment is well-represented in the profile photos, and we were impressed with the high ceilings and the quality of the interior refurbishment. We had lots of space to relax before and after our days out in the city, and we could take our time making moka coffee and having breakfast at our own pace. Both bedrooms face the interior courtyard, and the windows block any outdoor sounds. Noise was not a problem for us. Everything was in great working order, shower/bathroom, gas stove, dishwasher, etc.

The apartment manager was helpful during check-in and check-out, and even told us about the history of the building.

The mainly residential neighbourhood is just outside the train-station-tourist-hotel zone, with lots of busy pizzerias and restaurants with generally non-tourist prices. We felt totally safe and comfortable there. (If it's your first time in Rome, don't be put off by the graffiti on the building exteriors!)

Tram #3 is a short walk away, and will take you to the Coliseum and beyond. There are at least 2-3 supermarkets within a 5 min walk. We used the one on via Tiburtina.

Arrival tip: We took the airport bus to Termini (train station), but had to wait a long time for a taxi. It would have been better to use a fixed-price taxi directly from the airport (the regulated price is under EUR 50.00), or the transfer service. It's walkable from Termini if you don't have kids and/or a lot of luggage.

Communication with the owner was efficient and clear. A great experience for our first airbnb booking.
