Neda was very helpful with the whole process. We loved the apartment, and loved the location even more. The Cavour Metro station is literally a 2-3 minute walk away, and there are restaurants and a gelateria literally less than a minutes walk from the apartment. The Colosseum, Termini Station, and Pantheon are all within walking distance.

The apartment itself is nice, though a bit small. There are two single beds and a very nice sofa bed with a thick comfortable mattress. Don't let past experiences with bad sofa beds fool you - this was an exceptional sofa bed that you can sleep on every night if needed.

The kitchen is compact but very usable. Dishes, cups, and cooking utensils are all provided, as are napkins and some cooking ingredients if needed. The only thing that I would be cautious about is the stove top. It requires a striker or lighter to ignite the gas, and only a small cigarette lighter is provided. I would suggest the host provide a proper grilling lighter that can ignite the stove gas at a safer distance.

The bathroom is small, but functional. The water warms up immediately via the nearby gas-fired water heater. Many towels are provided for guests, as are soap and shampoo. There are a few problems and inconveniences, many of which can be fixed easily. The main inconvenience is that the shower requires a person to sit within the tub to use, since there are no shower curtains or hooks to place the shower head on.

In all, this was a wonderful and cozy apartment, with a wonderful host who was able to provide help when needed, and who answered emails very promptly if there were any problems. Highly recommended!
