We stayed nearly four weeks in this apartment and it is exceptionally convenient, especially for a long stay. it has a dishwasher, clothes washing machine, big closets, hairdryer, and ample space. Everything newly updated and very clean. The hosts provided enough paper products and some food to get us started, and the grocery store is directly across the street. It looked exactly as presented in the pictures. Apartment is on the 5th (top) floor with elevator. I'll clarify in what you see that the kitchen balcony opens up onto the internal courtyard and the second balcony is in the bedroom with two beds and overlooks via Manzoni from which you can see the statues atop San Giovanni. Both bedrooms and the salon are along this busy street, so this does mean a lot of night noise. We picked up earplugs at the pharmacy for sleeping. But that is the only negative aspect we found--and if you are used to big city noise it may not disturb you. We walked easily to and from the Sta Maria Maggiore, Monti (Colosseo/forum) and San Giovanni neighborhoods. The rest of Rome is accessible by tram, bus and metros all of which are within a block or two. Francesco is very professional, accessible, helpful and friendly. Also to note: Rome requires a daily hotel tax which is not included in the price (3.50 per adult per night) which is to be paid on arrival--Francesco has this listed in the description but I'd forgotten about it by the time we got there. In all, we highly recommend staying with Francesco at "Domus Aurelia"
