Ilia's apartment was beautiful and exactly as you see in the photos. It was situated in a great part if Rome and we walked most places. There were lots of restaurants in the area- a special one across the square 'theatre...' where we had two great meals. Ilia's husband net us and showed us around and told us about the area which was great. Plumbing in the shower was difficult to drain but that's a trade off when you want to stay in a historical city.
We would highly recommend this home to others wanting a more authentic experience.
