This is a spectacular home base for exploring Rome. The apartment is central, roomy, the beds comfortable, the living space is ample, the balcony and views over rooftops unmatched, and the bathrooms are modern too. If you're ok with a small elevator and about two flights of stairs into the flat, then the penthouse location will be a boon not a burden. If you're offered an airport transfer definitely take it too, we were met at the airport by our driver who took us straight into the city, no waiting in line for a taxi or struggling with Uber on landing after our late night flight.
