We had a very nice stay in our favorite area of Rome. While we knew of the stairs, it was tough the first time with luggage. We quickly got used to them and they were helpful to balance out the consumption of delicious food we had! Plenty of hot water, excellent air conditioning and that view from the rooftop deck! It was nice to be greeted by the neighbors cat occasionally, as well. I do think a bit of work needs to be done in order to address what appears to be an ongoing ant condition and the need to light the stove by match was a bit uncomfortable. Regardless, I’d recommend this property highly and would absolutely return!
