Firstly, Ari is amazing - thoughtful, friendly and very easy to reach and communicate with. The apartment is as described - comfortable and homely. Very well located and walking distance (even in 35 plus degrees heat) of most of Rome’s major attractions - so perfect for 1st timers! You have your pick of nearby eateries - special mention of the amazing gelateria around the corner for that last bite after a long walk.
Also as mentioned, it is a few floors up a fairly narrow staircase but this was really no big deal for us. We loved our stay - thank you Ari!
