This apartment is great. Julia provided all the essentials (towels, soap, blankets) and it was very clean. Like other reviewers have said, it is really close to the Colosseum and just around the corner are some great restaurants and gelaterias. The neighborhood seemed safe and not touristy. We had 8 adults staying in the apartment for 3 nights but we were only there at night, so it did not feel too crowded.
The only issue was that the first night the power went out and we were unable to reach Julia; fortunately we found a neighbor who was able to to reset the breaker (which is in a locked cabinet outside the apartment). Our original reservation was to arrive at night, but our flights changed to arrive earlier in the afternoon and Julia was kind enough to accommodate us.
This was our first time using Airbnb, and we were nervous to take a risk; but our experience was great.
We really enjoyed Rome and this apartment. Thanks Julia!
