The building is spectacular! You enter from a busy street through huge wooden doors into a quiet courtyard. Going up the many steps, you feel like you're in a museum. There is also an elevator, but steps are still required to get to the apartment. The hallways have wooden beams and gorgeous old light fixtures. It's quite a long walk from the apartment to the front entrance…enough to discourage me from running out for coffee in the morning. But we certainly enjoyed the palatial atmosphere of the stairs and hallways. The apartment itself is modern, clean, and comfortable. It worked for our family of four. Parents slept in the double bed in the loft and two kids slept on the firm and surprisingly comfortable fold-out couch. We especially appreciated the 3 air-conditioning units which we took full advantage of in late August! Also, Wi-fi worked well. Location is very convenient to shops and restaurants. If you lean out the window a bit you can see the dome of the Pantheon. We pretty much walked everywhere. We took a taxi a couple of times, and there was a taxi stand just down the street. The person who met us was Daniele. He was very nice and responsive, primarily by email, though he was late to meet us, so we were sitting on our suitcases in the sweltering heat, and unsure of our location. The place was hard to find at first. The drain of the shower was clogged when we arrived on a Saturday, and there was no one to fix it on a Sunday, so we didn't have a shower for a couple of days. It was nice to have a washing machine, but there was no laundry detergent. We also had to buy our own dish soap, sponge, and paper towels. These are small complaints. Overall, we had a wonderful, unique experience staying in comfortable apartment in a magical building in the heart of Rome.
