We are a mature couple (just retired) and spending 7 months in Italy. This stay was for 10 days of a total of 31 days in Rome for December 2014 including Christmas and New Year. Checking in and checking out was excellent. Alessandro was very nice and very accommodating. The apartment is larger than we needed for two people and it was very comfortable. The single bathroom may require a very close family once you get to 4 people. Beding, towels, linen etc were in plentiful supply and good quality. The kitchen is small but quite functional. Not sure why one would cook in Rome as there are so many cheap and wonderful restaurants on every corner and within 100 meters of the front door but we did cook 4 main meals. The bathroom is a bit cramped but we managed without any issues. The heating worked well and was easy to adjust (once Alessandro showed us how). The internet was fast and strong and simple to access.
Finding the place could not be easier... Stand in the middle of Piazza Novona and head East for about 100 meters. Location is the best in Rome to access all of central Rome by foot. If I had to be critical of anything then the downside of being in the best part of Rome is that you are also right in the middle of busy Restaurants and Bars so it was generally pretty noisy until about 2am. The apartment probably needs some better sound and light proof shutters as the windows work well to block out a lot of the noise but I recommend that you take ear plugs and eye shades. Although the apartment is on the third floor and there is no lift the stairs proved to be a good workout (no real issue) but you do have to lug the luggage (that's why they call it luggage) on arrival and departure, although Alessandro did carry the heaviest up for us. See I told you he was nice and very accommodating :-). Overall we loved our stay here and will stay again on our next visit.
