Marta's apartment was excellent and I would recommend this apartment to anyone who comes to the visit this city. It’s greatest strength is it’s location. It is about 2 minutes from the Pantheon and 2 minutes from Piazza Novona. It is in the middle of everything. It is also fairly easy for taxis to get to. I am not sure if it is easy to get to via public transport because I did not use that option during my time. However, this place is so centrally located that you can walk everywhere. The Colosseum/Roman forum area is about 20-30 minute walk from here Same for the Vatican. Surrounding this apartment are a lot of great little store, coffee shops, and restaurants. Although all of Central Rome is geared towards tourists, there are still a lot of authentic places that locals hang out around here.
Communication with Marta was excellent. Her response time is fast. Although she is not on site, a company called HostMaker handles all the day-to-day logistics. A very friendly employee met me at the door as my taxi was pulling up. Martha had provided me with his cell phone number so we were able to coordinate arrival times. He was available for any questions or concerns that I may have had during my stay here fortunately I did not need to contact him.
Although the apartment is in an old building, the inside is newly renovated and very modern. The apartment is on the sixth floor, fortunately there is a small elevator. I stayed in December and the heating was great and kept the place warm. I did not need to use the air conditioner at all so I am not sure how it might be in the summertime. However, it seems quite insulated and the thermostat controls our modern and digital so I doubt that there will be any issue. WiFi is fast and reliable. The bathroom is clean and fixtures are new and modern. The bed is comfortable. There is plenty of space for storage of your clothes. The kitchen, albeit small, should be able to handle anything you need to cook. Overall, the only downside of this apartment is that it is a little bit small but honestly this is a fantastically located apartment in the middle of one of the oldest cities in the world, the size is not a downside. I would gladly stay here again unless there were more than three or four people.There is also an outdoor/roof deck on the top floor which you can access. That is shared by all of the tenants of the building. It has a fantastic view of the Parthenon and most of Rome. This apartment is worth it just for that reason, as that amenity is rare for short term rental apartment.
If I come back to Rome, I'm definitely going to try to stay here without a doubt.
