There were several things about this apartment that we loved and other things that I think a renter should be aware of but I have not seen mentioned in previous reviews. The apartment is in a fantastic location and having been to Rome several times, I greatly appreciated the quiet street where it is located and how easy it is to walk through the city and see the sights. We are a family of 4 and have two older teenage children. The amount of space and privacy in the apartment is ideal - everyone had their own private space and the main living area is large and allows everyone to be together without feeling cramped. It was also nice to have the kids upstairs in their own rooms. The way the apartment is laid out is unique - there are two sets of stairs that each lead to each of the separate upstairs bedrooms. One upstairs bedroom has its own bathroom while the other does not so access to a bathroom is only by coming back downstairs and using the one in the downstairs bedroom or going up the other set of stairs. The two upstairs bedrooms are in no way connected. Also to note is both upstairs bedrooms are loft-style which means they are open to downstairs in some fashion. The bedroom above the downstairs bedroom is separated by thick glass (see example in picture 15/33) but it is not soundproof and if the person above turns on the light, it shines down to the downstairs bedroom. This wasn't a problem at all for us - just something to be aware of if you need complete privacy in the downstairs bedroom. The other upstairs bedroom is open to the living room so again, if the person staying upstairs needs quiet or privacy, it may be difficult. Our only disappointment with the apartment was that although the pictures show it to be sparkling clean, it is, in fact, well worn. I would not say it's dirty - more that it's been used a lot and could use a good paint job, wall patch work, and new or recovered furniture. One recommendation I have, which was quite a shock to us since we were not informed, was that on our last morning, someone entered the apartment to deliver bags of linens in the front foyer area. This happened around 7:30 and we were quite frightened to have an unknown male inside the apartment. There is a door between the apartment and the foyer area (this foyer area serves no other residences other than this one (see photo 26/33) and I would recommend locking that door at all times if you are in the apartment. All in all, the apartment is conveniently located to shops and restaurants, is spacious, and within walking distance to all of the great sites in Rome.
