The apartment was quiet despite its location in a fairly busy area. It is on the top floor of the building with an elevator, which was nice. The decorations were minimal and stylish, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking utensil essentials. The A/C helped greatly on warmer days. Overall, the apartment was very comfortable. The only issue we had, which wasn't a big deal, was that the door of the shower tended to fold in such a way that water would leak when we showered. The best part is its very convenient location next to Termini station.
Ascanio's mother and father met with us, and they were so helpful and nice. They took their time going through the apartment to explain everything to us. Maps were provided, which they went over in detail. They even provided a complimentary bottle of prosecco! Communication with both Ascanio and his father was excellent.
As two women traveling solo, perhaps we wouldn't stay in the Termini area itself again as it didn't feel safe at one point in the night while walking outside. That said, when we were walking at night to a restaurant or back to the apartment, there were often other pedestrians surrounding us, so we felt safe then. I have walked with my husband in this area at night before and have felt safer then, though. This paragraph does not reflect on the actual quality of the apartment and the building itself, which felt very safe and was an excellent venue in and of itself.
