YES! YES! YES! This flat is WONDERFUL!
Wife here reviewing first -
We had such a nice time staying at Lele's flat! Lele has put in so much thought to make sure the guests are comfortable. The decor was wonderful, thoughtful and interesting; there's even a bowl for the keys right when you walk in the door so we never misplaced them. The building itself is stunning, the courtyard is amazing. The location is within (medium) walking distance to the Forum and Colosseum and very close to the Pantheon. We discovered that if you were to go out the courtyard's back door and take a left, down to the end of the alley and take a right ... go through the little "portal" and you have put yourself in the heart of several restaurants and ruins. Full disclosure, the spiral staircase is not for everyone, it's a bit steep.
Husband review:
If I could give 10 stars on Air-BnB, I would. This place should be nominated as one of the best Air BnB's in all of Roma. The location is a 10/10. The accommodations are 10/10. The quality and craftsmanship is 10/10. Security and privacy: 10/10. I could go on and on about what makes this a 10 but really look at the photos. The place is even better in person and it feels very real with the textures and the comforts of home. Heck, there is even a fresco on the ceiling! The AC blows cold on hot summer days and the sunlight makes for great morning wake ups. The sound of the chapel bells reminds you of being in a magical place and knowing they have been ringing for centuries REALLY takes you back. The recent remodel brings modern touches to a 500 year old space. The kitchen remodel is top notch.
I have nothing negative to say. Every consideration has been made for comfort. Lele and his friends and family take great care to ensure that guests are taken care of. Maps and hints to local stores and sites are all put out for you to enjoy in that first day while you explore Rome and all that the city has to offer. Getting a Taxi is easy as we used the MyTaxi app on our mobile phone and it came to the door to take us to far away places that we couldn't walk.
For the record, we could easily walk to the Pantheon, Colosseum, Forum, 15+ ancient fountains, 30+ ancient churches, and easily 100's upon 100's of amazing restaurants and ruins from this property. I cannot say enough about this place.
When we come back to Rome, we will always book this place. Nothing could be more perfect than this property.
