We had a good stay in this apartment - very close to the Vatican. The apartment itself was clean and modern - as others have noted the only thing missing was the lack of living area, when we were all home in the evening we ended up sitting in one of the bedrooms. Given how much there is to see in Rome this wasn't an issue for us as we weren't home very often. Patrizia was always prompt and friendly in her responses - both she and her husband Fabrizio were keen to meet us - and they were accommodating in allowing us to leave our bags in the apartment while we visited the Vatican on our last morning.
