The apartment is truly beautiful, and is very well appointed, spacious (for Rome, especially), situated in a lovely building in a perfect location, and overall, this is near perfect. I say "near perfect" because like "Kelle", the previous May reviewer noted, we found that there was no hot water--so the hot water problem needs some attention obviously. Dishwashing and showering were rather challenging, with much heating up of pots of water and Indonesian- style mandi baths. Even in the heat, cold showers are not pleasant, or effective. In fairness, we were offered another apartment in Trasvestere, but after travelling all day and after finding out about the problem only after our tour of the lovely apartment, and because we had never seen the other apartment, we stayed--there was a chance, even remote, that the hot water would be restored during our visit. And Franziska offered us a 50euro refund as a kind gesture. So, ask about the hot water when booking, and if it's working, this is an absolute gem of a place to stay--in fact, it doesn't get much better for Rome. We didn't meet Franziska, but her agent Agnese was charming and very friendly. The terrazza is exquisite in the morning and evening (afternoon is direct, intense sunlight, but one is normally out exploring the city in the afternoon). Again, ask about the hot water when booking, if it's working, this is a wonderful apartment and location.
