Believe the hype. This apartment indeed has the incredible views on both sides that one can only dream of. The pictures don't do the apartment justice. It is spacious, clean, safe, quiet, in a gorgeous historic building, one block away from the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. The kitchen is well-stocked and I am running out of superlatives to describe the experience of having breakfast overlooking Roman rooftops. Last but not least, Alberto is the most gracious, accommodating host one could possibly wish for. When we will be back to Rome (and I know we will eventually), I can not imagine staying anywhere else.
