Simona was a great host--communicated upfront and provided feedback and help when needed. The flat was quite cozy--we tried to fit 4 in there and it was a bit tight but Simona did help make us comfortable by bringing an extra air bed as well. The location was perfect--close to all the sites in Rome that we wanted to see, and the nightlife was hopping. We were there with kids and so turned in earlier. But with the windows closed and the air conditioning on, you couldn't hear the street noise. The only couple issues we ran into was the circuit breaking when the water heater and the stove were turned on. Once we figured that out, we shut off the hot water while using the stove. And, the loft ceiling and those in the stairways are quite low-- need to be careful and not hit your head against the low beams. All in all, had a fabulous time in Rome and would highly recommend this place.
