This apartment is literally right next to St. Peters Square and within walking distance of all of the major attractions (Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Forum, etc.). We walked everywhere unless we were too tired in which case we were only a short cab ride to the apartment. There is no central air but if you keep the bedrooms cool then when you open the doors, the cool air will transfer to the rest of the apartment - keep the windows shut and curtains closed or you will allow all the hot air into the apartment. Paola was quick to answer any text questions - literally she responded in a few minutes or less. She was nice enough to arrange a car and driver for me to the airport which ended up being safer and cheaper than a taxi in Rome. The building is old but the apartment is very modern. There is no washer or dryer in the unit but there is a laundromat around the corner that everyone uses. I would stay here again, but likely in the cooler months. July is HOT in Rome!
