My wife and parents-in-law rented this beautiful apartment for ten days in October - a perfect time to visit Rome. We highly recommend it!

The owner of the apartment, Paola, communicated very useful information to us via email before the trip, leaving us entirely comfortable that all would be perfect upon our arrival in Rome. (Paola's English is perfect, by the way!)

Paola also set up airport transfers for us beforehand (the driver she booked for us was great!) , and she promptly met us and walked us through the features of the apartment, local restaurants, etc., upon our arrival there. Paola even left us with a nice binder full of restaurant reviews, information about grocery shopping, and descriptions of local sights - something we used a lot!

My in-laws are older, so we were initially concerned about an apartment situated half-way up the Spanish Steps. We needn't have been. The entrance to the building is at the bottom of the Spanish Steps, a couple of doors from the Keats-Shelley museum. In typical Roman fashion, the entryway leads to a secure courtyard with two gradual, easy flights of stairs up to the unit's entrance. It's fast in and out, and the best location one could imagine - adjacent to the Spanish Steps, with a direct view of the Steps from the private terrace off of the upper bedroom.

The photos on the website are entirely accurate, and the apartment is in excellent shape. The A/C and heat work very well - we know because the weather changed while we were there, so we used them both. The kitchen is compact but well-equipped. And the shopping and restaurants within a block or two of the apartment are fantastic. Additionally, the Spagna metro entrance is just on the other side of the Spanish Steps, making the apartment a great location for getting around Rome and to locations outside of the city.

All in all, Paola was a gracious and caring hostess, and made us feel at home in Rome. I highly recommend this apartment and location for your stay in the Eternal City.
