I suppose I should have read the other reviews of this property more carefully! As many others said, the location was great for walking access to many of Rome's more popular attractions, as well as some smaller neighborhood spots. But I can confirm what others found, that the upkeep and amenities of the apartment left something to be desired; although it seemed generally clean, both of the sinks (bathroom and kitchen) were loosely fitted and leaky, the one in the bathroom actually pooling water underneath the sink. The attachment for the shower head had broken but we managed by balancing it on a soap dish. Although we were asked to clean the dishes before we left, there were no rags or paper towels left to do this with, and we had been left with about a half a roll of toilet paper a 4 night stay. With our jam-packed schedule for the trip we had little time to contact David or Barbra, and ended up just dealing with these inconveniences for our relatively short stay, but I would be wary if you were considering settling in to this apartment for more than a few days. Overall, it definitely seems like this apartment is being used more as a business and less like someone is actually "hosting".
