The Leonina apartment was exactly as it is pictured on the AirBnB website. No manipulation to make the apartment appear better than it is. It is as spacious and immaculate as it appears in the photographs. There is a small elevator which we used to take to the first floor where the apartment is located, although the steps are a short climb. Upon arrival, we found that Ilaria left for us a large bottle of water and snacks. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the necessary items a family would need for a week's stay. We were able to make coffee, tea, scramble eggs, and prepare simple meals without a problem. There were coffee cups, plates, bowls, glasses, flatware, pans, cutting boards, and other cooking utensils, including cleaning supplies. There was some sugar, salt, marmalades, coffee pods and other items left for our use. The "Elite" supermarket is a short walk to via Cavour for everything else you need. We shopped there for essentials and the people were very helpful and kind. Both bedrooms (Leonina 2 & 3) are beautifully decorated and have some of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever slept in. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, well equipped with a blow dryer, shampoo, sewing kits, shower caps and other amenities. There were plenty of towels and toilet paper provided. We always had plenty of hot water which was a huge bonus as it was extremely hot while we were in Rome and all four of us found ourselves taking showers sometimes twice a day. The water pressure and wifi in the larger bedroom, Leonina 3, was not as strong as in the smaller bedroom, Leonina 2, but my husband and I made do. Had I know in advance, I'd have taken the smaller bedroom (2) and given my son and his girlfriend the larger one (3). Each bedroom has an air conditioning unit which kept the rooms very cool. There is no unit in the kitchen, but we didn't spend any real time there. Note that there is no common sitting area for everyone to hang out in. Since we used the apartment mostly to sleep and wash up, this was not an issue. The location is perfect for touring. You are within a few minutes walk to the Colosseum, the Basilica of St. Clementine, the church of St. Pietro in Vincoli. Also, less than a one minute walk to the Cavour metro station. Although this area has a lot of nightlife, it is not rowdy and we always felt safe. Our apartment was very quiet and we slept well. There is a hipster market across the street, Urban Market, which was open only on Saturday and Sunday, but had some very chic items for sale --- not the usual tacky souvenirs. Communication with Ilaria was good and she usually got back to us with answers to questions right away. We were nervous about using AirBnB for the first time, but our experience at La...
