The apartment is in the perfect location - just seconds from the Spanish steps and the Piazza del Popolo, on a gorgeous, upscale street with all of the high-end shops and an endless array of quaint restaurants & cafes lining the streets and alleyways. The apartment was spacious, bright, airy, really fresh & clean. It is on the 4th floor which provides a fantastic view over the rooftops of Rome, and there is a lovely little balcony off of the master bedroom that overlooks a buzzy side street to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine before dinner. The beds were big and comfortable with quality linens. Valeria was a responsive & helpful host when we needed anything. She referred us to a local tour guide leading up to our stay, and we also took her up on her driver for airport transfer, which were both nice, helpful and decently priced for the convenience.
Only 2 downsides necessary to mention:
They do not provide any bath products (shampoo, cond, body wash, toilet paper) For the higher price of the apartment and our short 2 day stay this was a small but noted inconvenience.
There is a family with small children that live on the 5th floor directly above the apartment, and they are very very loud. It starts relentlessly at 6:30-7am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Obviously out of the control and not the fault of the hosts, but certainly a negative on holiday.
Overall, the apartment itself is amazing. The location is superb. And the hosts are lovely. If you are an early morning riser who gets up and out, you will really enjoy this rental. :)
