This is a tale of two experiences. My wife and I had a nice lower-level experience with a comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. My daughter and grandson ran into three problems on the upper level bedroom and bath. They could not shut the bathroom door for privacy, the washing machine did not spin-dry the clothing, requiring hand-wringing, and a defective shower forced them to use the bathroom tub or come down to our bathroom for a shower. The apartment is very well situated around the corner from the Collosseum. It has nice decorative tile throughout. We knew in advance that we would need to climb three floors with our luggage, but Giordano had promised to help with that. When we arrived, no one was there to help us and my grandson and I (83 years old) toted heavy suitcases up the narrow stairway and back down when we left. With better maintenance, it would have been a bargain stay!
