I just got back from Italy and stayed at this apartment for 4 days from March 14, 2014 to March 19, 2014. This apartment was amazing as it was modern, beautiful and spacious! It was a five star apartment by any standard! The pictures don't lie and the apartment is even better in person. There were five of us in a 2 bedroom, 2 full bath and 1 half bath. Carla, the owner, clearly takes great pride in her property and it shows. Each room had a King bed so that was great as my brother and his wife had one room and my mother and myself had the other. My sister came along last minute and Carla was able to accommodate her as well with her own, single, bed in one of the rooms and there was still plenty of space to move around. Good size living room, the kitchen was small but perfect and had all the basics (stove, refrigerator, sink, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, dishwasher, etc. It even had napkins, disposal dishware, coffee powder, trash bags,etc). There is a dishwasher and small washing machine to use in the apartment as well. There is Wi-Fi in the apartment and it works perfectly and is easy to connect to. There were no connectivity issues at all. You must bring your own toiletries (i.e. sopa, shampoo, conditioner, etc.) which was fine with me as I do anyways. However, towels and linens were provided no problem. The location is fantastic with the metro and train station only 10 minutes walk away, and most major sites around the city including the Coliseum, Pantheon, etc, are within 10-20 minute walks or so. There was a small market right next door to the apartment which was great to get water, coffee, bread, etc or anything else you may need. We had breakfast at the apartment daily as we bought items from the market downstairs so it was a great way to start the day. There were overall lots of markets and cash/currency exchange places nearby as well. Also, we bought Roma Passes and one of the information/travel booths to purchase it from was just a block away. Also, Carla as a host is exceptional and gracious! She had maps of Rome to give us so that was great to get our bearings and have someone walk us through some things. Also, my sister-in-law left her jacket in the apartment after we checked out. We went to Florence after Rome and Carla called me to let me know we had left the jacket. She then mailed the jacket to us in Florence herself without charging us for it. Wow! I've never had a hotel be so generous. She was there to collect the keys and say goodbye to us with a lovely note and a parting gift as well! If I ever visit Rome again, this is the only place I'll stay! Book it - you won't regret it!
