The Penthouse was awesome! Alberto and his wife were always available for questions, extra towels, questions on the area - anything a traveler could need. Everything was perfect - the views we're amazing - the Colosseum and Forum off one Balcony and the wedding cake out the other! There is an elevator in the building but...it wasn't working while we were there. Be ready - it's 119 steps up! and down ... not a problem, just be aware if you have a handicap or have a hard time with stairs. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at least one meal a day. I highly recommend Alberto and Marialetizia's Penthouse.
