Elena is a fantastic host. She arranged a transfer from the airport for us, and was there to meet us and let us in to the beautiful apartment. She also gave us a rundown of the area and where and how we could get to all the big attractions in Rome.
The location was great, right near an entry into the Metro system, which we took to get just about everywhere in Rome. We could also walk from the apartment to many attractions, and there was a wonderful selection of restaurants and gelaterias, and the best cannolis in Rome right around the corner. It was perfect to be in the middle of things without being in a touristy/crowded area.
We found the apartment to be light-filled and cool during the warm autumn days we stayed there. The Mosaic floors were delightful to look at and to walk on, and everything was clean and as expected from the description and pictures.
Our kids, aged 8 and 4, really enjoy this stay, especially the pile of board games, the fantastically ornate keys for the apartment itself, and the small, old-fashioned elevator that they learned to use expertly to race us as we parents walked up the stairs.
The kids also enjoyed the playground at the center of Rei di Roma the first few nights of our trip, but unfortunately a drunk driver crashed into it during our stay, so hopefully that will be rebuilt and kids can enjoy it again soon.
I loved that the apartment was on the fourth floor, making us feel very safe.
My only criticisms would be that the double bed is not the best mattress (but that is pretty standard for Airbnb rentals), and that the porcelain lamps in the bedrooms are very fragile, as we found out when my son knocked one over in his sleep. We had thought they were plastic. If you have kids, I would recommend moving the lamps somewhere safer, as they are top-heavy and likely to fall if the end tables are bumped.
We definitely recommend this rental if you are spending time in Rome with or without kids, and would stay there ourselves again if we are lucky enough to return anytime soon.
