The apartment is in a fantastic location! Directly down the street from the Spanish Steps and a short walk to Piazza Novona, The Pantheon, and The Trevi Fountain. We were able to walk everywhere during our trip and never had to take a cab. There's a grocery store across the street that was convenient for snacks and grabbing bottles of wine. The only downside of the location was street noise at night, but it didn't bother us too much. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. Having a shower, a full kitchen (though we didn't use it much), and a washer made it feel like home. There was a small leak in the sink in the bathroom, but Mario had it fixed right away.
Mario arranged transport to pick us up from the airport. As first time visitors this was incredibly helpful, and the cost was very reasonable. It definitely put us as ease and saved us time on our first day to be able to go directly to the apartment and not have to worry about navigating, public transport, or communicating with the language barrier. I highly recommend this for less experienced travelers! Livia met us at the apartment and got us settled in, made some recommendations, and collected the taxes.
The street has a little bistro that we frequented, and a couple blocks toward the Spanish Steps are high-end shops such as Dior, Jimmy Choo, and Harry Winston. The neighborhood made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time!
