The apartment was a great size for the three of us and the patio was convenient. We never smoke but always seem to start when we travel! We had plenty of space for snacks and wine in the refrigerator. The beds were comfy and there were a lot of extra linens and towels (I use a lot of towels) it was also WONDERFUL to be able to wash our clothes. The house is across from 158 an authentic Rome cuisine restaurant that's open till midnight and on the bus line that takes you into the heart of the Roman ruins. The wifi never faltered. All in all we had a great experience with Carla's home and her brother was very helpful with showing us around the neighborhood.
