Great location, spectacular view and wonderful host. This is the family's former home and it feels warm. We particularly enjoyed seeing the marks on one of the bedroom walls of the children's heights at different ages. It is an older home (this is Rome after all) and one or two amenities could use updating. However, the location, view, and host make up for the inconvenience. We chose this home because of location and view, but also because of the elevator (120+ steps each way) if the elevator is not working. This we know because the elevator was down for repairs for two of our three days there. If you have mobility issues, make sure you check about the elevator availability. All in all, a fantastic trip to Rome.
By the way, you can pick up taxis easily by crossing the street and walking toward Termini station about 200 meters. Very easy and convenient. A taxi to the Vatican was about 17 euro, Piazza Spagna was about 11 and to Termini was about 8 euros.
