Everything you've read about the views and the location of this apartment are spot on. We could not have asked for better terraces with more amazing views or a better location! Those two things truly make this apartment worth every penny and would be why we would return.
Marzia checked in with us about a week before our arrival. We were arriving into Rome early so our plan was to find a luggage storage location for our bags. Marzia said we could bring our bags to the apartment and leave them there, but that it would probably still be too early to check in. We were very pleasantly surprised when not only could we drop off our bags, but the apartment was already cleaned and ready for check-in! Marzia also arranged our transportation to the airport. Within 20 mins of texting her, everything was all set!
Not everything was perfect. There were a few, small areas of concern, mainly concerning maintenance. A few door handles were missing or broken (shower door and first door onto the terrace when you come up the stairs from the building). We got locked out one night because this handle fell off when we unlocked it. Luckily the wonderful couple staying in the other unit came home at just that same time. She gave us a pair of tweezers and we were able to use those to get back in. After that, my husband came up with a way to temporarily fix the handle by switching the direction each time we came and left so that it would not fall off. The trash can was also broken and the lid would fall off.
Another concern was the stairs, especially when trying to navigate them at night when you had to go upstairs to use the restroom. The stairs are painted the same color as the floor making them very hard to see. They blend in to the floor, and it's easy to miss them or not see where they are. I missed the first stair one night and started to fall, but luckily was able to catch myself.
Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay in the heart of Rome. Those views, terraces, and location make up for any of the concerns I mentioned above and I would recommend this place to a friend.
