We were very happy with the apartment - the furniture, fixtures, hardware were all beautiful mid-century original and in really solid shape. There is an authentic hominess to the place - a welcome respite to having to try and make yourself at home in either a dump or an Ikea room display. The ad did say there was air conditioning, and there was, but it was a portable unit in only the living room, so we were worried about that during mid-July. But we got lucky on the weather and had no trouble sleeping with the windows open. Lina was patient and super friendly with our late train arrival and was even kinder to let us store our backpacks the last day until a late flight out. The neighborhood is what we wanted (minus the unusually bad street trash and overflowing garbage that Rome seems to be plagued by) - very few tourists, run down and lived in, but with plenty of life. The restaurants Lina suggests in the welcome book were perfect suggestions. We were often the only non-italians there and the food was fantastic. We would/will absolutely come back. Highly recommended for travelers who are trying to avoid 'tourism'.
