Fourteen nights here. Great location right at Colosseum and the pictures are just what you'll get. Major perk was having the taxi stand right outside and just a short stroll to the metro, which we used each day. There's also a 24/7 market at the end of the block and a travel agency in the same block that offers a deal on SIM cards with helpful employees.
Fernando carried our suitcase upstairs. The steps are not for the faint of heart! The apartment is on what we would consider 4 flights up (3rd floor in Europe) with no elevator.
Fernando and the building maintenance guy, Carmelo, were both responsive to issues. Be aware that the 2nd bathroom is in a loft and we couldn't get it to flush completely with solids. Carmelo did come and leave a bucket so we could add water to get it to clear and Fernando said there was nothing wrong with it. We did hold in on both flush buttons and we didn't put TP in the bowl and attempted to flush exactly as we did the downstairs bathroom and couldn't get it to flush. The bucket helped and it wasn't really a huge deal, but be aware in case this is an issue.
GET MICHALA TO CLEAN FOR YOU! Since we were there 2 weeks, we needed linen changes and general cleaning and she did an A-1 job in about 2 hours. Well worth it! Fernando will set it up.
The building is like Fort Knox and we felt very secure. There's a code to get into the building and he also gave us a key to the entry. We rarely saw anyone else staying in the building.
Another person was unexpectedly able to join us and Fernando was cool with that and let us pay the night tax directly to Carmelo.
Thanks for the hospitality, Fernando! We felt right at home, as if we were staying with Italian relatives!
