We had a great stay here! Barbara is an exceptionally nice host! The communication was always great and the check in was super smooth.
The place is so nice and tastefully decorated! It might be important to know for some people that it is very open concept so you will notice the light / noise from the living room to the bedroom (and vice versa). It didn't bother us at all but this might be important for people that really want a closed personal space.
Also about the distance to the city center: Rom is so big that defining a 'center' is already difficult. Nevertheless, this place is of course a bit further away from popular sights like the Colosseum but it is very close to a fast and reliable metro line that brings you close to all the attractions in no time! Also there is a bus (semi reliable during our stay) that is basically a sightseeing city tour for only 1,50€ into town.
During our stay we had a heatwave and it was unbearable outside even in the shade! The great air conditioning in the apartment safed our lives and we even managed to go into town in the morning, come back to the apartment during the worst midday heat, go back for dinner etc. in the evening without being bothered by the commute.
This is a great place! We were very thankful to have it during this difficult weather! :)
