The absolutely amazing view is what this apartment is all about. After a hard day's sightseeing, it was fantastic to be able to put up our feet, relax and recharge our batteries, whilst still being able to look out on and appreciate the spectacular scenery of Ancient Rome - including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the "Wedding Cake" monument. Every member of our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) agreed that the incredible view was 100% worth its weight in gold.
The apartment itself is honestly described in the AirBnB listing and we felt that we knew what to expect. We were pleased to find that the sofa bed was a decent size and very comfortable - quite rare! Access to the apartment is via a lift (or stairs) from the reception area of a hotel below, which made us feel very secure as there was always a receptionist on hand if required.
The apartment's location is very convenient indeed, literally no more than a 10 minutes stroll to most of the main attractions.
The host Lele was very quick to reply to any messages both before and during our stay, even over the very busy Easter holiday weekend.
In the interests of absolute honesty I have to say that the bathroom, whilst clean and usable, is definitely overdue for an update. However, since we did not travel to Rome in order to spend all our time sitting in a bathroom, this was not a big issue! The absolutely amazing view, the convenient location, and the warm welcome more than made up for it.
We had a brilliant 6 day stay in this apartment and our family would definitely recommend it.
