We stayed at Raffaella's apartment for 3 nights in June. We had a nice stay overall and I would consider staying there again in the future. She arranged for late checkin and that was very helpful.

Pros:
Location, location, location. The apartment is located in the Jewish Ghetto - lively and vibrant. It is a great area to get a vibe for Rome. It is about 5-10 minutes walk from Piazza Venetia and 10-15 walk from the Coliseum. It was easy to get around walking. The apartment is on the ground floor. The apartment is functional with a pull out couch, a double bed, and a single bed. The beds were clean and we had lots of clean towels.

Cons:
There is no wifi and I did not have a mobile signal in the apartment. Although there were 2 AC units in the main room with the pullout, there was no AC unit in the bedroom which had a double bed and single bed (although it was not warm when we were there in June and we slept with the windows open). The apartment backs to a courtyard which could be a little loud at night.
