Apartment is in walking distance to all the great sites, and within a 150 foot walk there are at least 5 great restaurants with great night life. Closest to the Pantheon. This building is very old and thus it carries its antiquated quirks.
Great gelateria is 5 min walk away. Area feels very safe.
On entry right across the foyer is the first bedroom with a daybed that folds out. We did not use this room.
Living area has basic furniture. Kitchen is small and basic as well. The refrigerator is compact/mini and is not full size.
Bathroom had small layout but shower was large with an overhanging shower head. Water pressure is acceptable. On our estimation we had about 15 minutes of hot water before it got cold.
You take a spiral staircase to get to the upstairs master room which is spacious and beautiful when the sun is out. There are blackout drapes for the windows but not for the glass door leading to the patio. Bed was very comfortable.
One major problem we faced was there was a putrid smell of sewage emanating from the toilet. Unsure what it was from and was the only major drawback of this listing.
Patio is beautiful and big. One main reason we opted for this place over other listings with a terrace was that there was two comfortable patio chairs pictured in the listing. To our disappointment they were not there. Beware of seagulls with unattended food. The view off the patio has a large field of view but is at eye level with other units so you don't get a long viewing distance. But the view appears as they are demonstrated in the images of the listing. One nice thing is that part of the patio has a covered overhang, allowing you to still sit outside if its raining.
WiFi was very sluggish for simple web browsing.
The walk up isn't as tiring as other reviewers may state, although can be understandably difficult if you are older or unfit to do so (either due to conditioning or health reasons).
Two AC units: One downstairs and one upstairs. Both work well. The AC downstairs only works with a special key turned in to prevent people leaving it on while out of the house.
We did not use public transit and cannot comment on its proximity. Overall the apartment is quiet.
Keep in mind the standard tax of €3.50 per person per night for anyone >10 years old and is staying less than 10 nights total. This is collected on check in and must be in cash.
Never met Alessia and Roberto as a surrogate granted us entry. No noisy neighbors.
