Robert was a kind and responsive host. He stopped by to help with the pool quickly and made our stay comfortable.

The listing is mostly accurate and apartment is GIGANTIC, amazing for its location in Rome. The location is central, near restaurants, away from street noise of Trevi Fountain crowds, but still very close to sights. There is a grocery store at the street end. The air conditioning worked well (it reached 105'F/40'C+ outside); it didn't get much natural light, but does have four big skylights and light at the apartment ends. It is modern and recently renovated.

The pool cleans from 2-4pm and takes a while to warm up - leave the filter (left button up) running overnight; it starts out chilly and takes hours to warm. There are hot tub jets, but it never reaches hot tub temperatures. The sauna worked well, although the oil was empty.

The kitchen is large, but not all appliances were turned on (e.g. wine fridge - we didn't need them anyway). It's a gorgeous, huge kitchen. It could use more basic utensils, especially a corkscrew. I don't recall a microwave - maybe there was one (?).

The main area is gigantic, 12' ceilings and 10x10 meters (30'ft). There is one pull-out couch in the main room; both leather couches were very comfortable. The TV worked well, but given the distance from the couches, a larger screen might be appropriate (an electric movie screen can come down from the ceiling, but there is no projector yet).

The two bedrooms were spacious; They are positioned on opposite sides of the house. The master bedroom is next to the street, which is mostly quiet. The beds (1 king, 1 queen) were both very comfortable.

The bathrooms are both near the master bedroom, but there is a sliding door to close off the master bedroom and the bathroom with shower. One bathroom had a few small defects, but nothing horrible (shower wand didn't work, some dry-wall mistakes). The shower runs out onto the floor a little because it has no door; the bath mat gets soaked, but not the whole room.

There was construction overhead which started early (7am, mid-August 2015), but the noise was manageable. Probably not an issue later.

The only significant downside is the wifi, it's unusable in the house; we did not try it outside of the house. The business desk in the master bedroom lacks a chair. I wish I had understood how to work the pool temperature better earlier in our stay. The _many_ lighting buttons stick a little. Not much to complain about.

The whole place is amazing, particularly for its size in Europe. Our kids loved it so much they modeled it in Minecraft; I might post a youtube link, because you can walk through it and understand the floor plan better. Overall, we were *extremely pleased*. It's a fantastic deal when compared to similar family offerings at hotels or any other property. It's quite an amazing place.
