I can not say enough how amazing this location is. We took my 60 year old mother for her birthday - her first time to Italy! Our view of Trevi fountain was unreal! We felt so special every time we unlocked the door to our apartment building off the street - yes "we live HERE"! Even when you need rest you do not feel you are missing out on Italy as you can sit and enjoy the view and people watching of everyone at Trevi Fountain. The picture is exactly what you will get.
Some people wrote about the stairs- they were very easy and none of us had a problem or felt there were a lot of stairs.
Both the bed and the pull out bed were very comfortable. If you are going to sleep in living room bring a sleep mask as we could not figure out how to close the shutters. Some commented on the noise. There is a good amount on the weekend but did not cause an issue for us at all.
I would recommend having Rafaella and her husband pick you up from airport. Only $50 Euro and she met us right at the "meeting point" inside the airport and greeted us with a big hug and kiss. A taxi or Uber is $60-$70 Euro. So not only a great deal but safe and welcome arrival to Italy. You can not find a better, more central location then this! We walked to every site except for the Vatican City which was only a $10 cab ride or $1.50 each way on Metro. Metro station close walking distance and easy to navigate. We were three women and felt perfectly safe in this home.
When we arrived to apartment Rafaella marked up a map of places to see and places to to eat. She had champagne- sweet bread - chocolate - fruit - sparkling water and cappuccino pods for our enjoyment.
Please do yourself a favor and experience Rome like the locals!
Thank you Rafaella for the perfect start to our Italy Vacation! We will be back for sure!
