We had a great stay in Rome. The stairs are no joke, but our host helped us get the bags upstairs. The apartment is wonderfully located steps away from many dining options and is walkable to the Coliseum/Forum, Rome Termini and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved the historical feel of the apartment. My husband is 6'2" and he did hit his head on the entrance to the bathroom a few times (door between the bookcases), but then just learned to duck. It's an historical Italian building so it comes with the territory.
