We stayed for 3 days in Julian's apartment. There were 6 of us so we had use of both apartments. We did miss having one central larger area to hang out in together, although the couch in the 2nd kitchen worked pretty well. But we weren't in the apartment that much anyway, just to sleep, so it worked just fine. And the location close to the Rome Termini was great. You did need to travel a bit into town for good restaurants, but again that was not a problem. We walked to the Colosseum and took the metro to the Vatican, Spanish Steps and Trevi fountain. It's an older apartment but clean and had all the space we needed for 6 of us. And a great little coffeemaker! Julian was always so quick to respond and met us at the door for check-in. Although the beds are a little hard, I had a stiff back every morning but I sleep on a pretty soft bed at home, all the great walking we did worked it out nicely. Also we walked to a nearby gym one morning, the Royal Barberini, and had a great workout :)
