The apartment is larger than it looks in the pictures, so the big, airy space was a very pleasant surprise. With the windows closed, there is little street noise, so we slept well. The location is also great—there are two supermarkets (Pam and Carrefour Express) within a 3 minute walk, and there are dozens of restaurants and gelato shops not much farther away. The apartment makes a perfect home base for exploring Rome.
The building is old and filled with character. That said, we had no problems at all with the modern touches—Wi-Fi was strong, the AC was cold, and everything worked as it should. If you’re claustrophobic, take the stairs (it’s only one floor up) because the elevator is very small.
It also helped that Gaia, the host, was so attentive. She arranged transportation to and from the airport, she had a cleaner come in half way through our long stay, and any time there was even the slightest problem, she fixed it immediately. Her communications were friendly and prompt, and I really couldn’t ask for a better person to host.
