This apartment is in the BEST location in Rome, in my opinion, just off the Campo dei Fiori which is a colorful market by day, with a wide array of restaurant choices and a real "village" feel in busy Rome. The apartment itself is on a delightful tiny courtyard that local guides bring people in to see. The pictures don't do it justice!
Communication was excellent- responses within minutes to several concerns. The owner is pleasant and helpful, and the check-in procedure was nice.
The setup is good for two families travelling together, because this is essentially two apartments connected by outside stairs. The stairs are steep, so not recommended for people with mobility concerns. The lower kitchen is more of an efficiency, but the upper kitchen is very nice and serves as the common space as there is not a living room per se.
The beds are excellent, and the shower (three options- hand held, side shower head and overhead rain forest) was a revelation! Best shower ever. Just be sure and have the host show you how to reset the hot water heater (no big deal, but you would not find it on your own) as it went out nearly every day we were there.
The one real disadvantage to this apartment is the neighbors. While there is a gate on the courtyard and it is posted to be closed from 11pm-630 am, there is a grocery business that starts bringing in food on noisy metal hand carts across the cobblestones, and noisy little trucks, starting at 530 am. Since they go by less than 6 feet from your head, it was an unpleasant wakeup every morning. The carpentry shop that shares the front door space was very noisy and continually stacked up wood, ladders, buckets, and paint in front of the door. I hope the owners can get cooperation to improve this situation.
