Such a beautiful apartment in a really nice area of Rome within walking distance of The Vatican and a few blocks from a Metro stop. Silvia was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us a great rundown of the apartment and good restaurants close by. The neighborhood was kind of ritzy (there is a Tiffany's on the same block) and less crowded than other areas of Rome, which made it a welcoming retreat to come home to. The apartment is on the fifth floor but there is an elevator (very much welcomed by us since we were traveling with a couple suitcases). The apartment itself is much bigger than it appears in the photos. The kitchen is well-equipped and has an espresso machine we used each morning. There is also a loft above the kitchen/living room that is really smartly designed; unobtrusive but provided another bed for traveling with kids or another couple. The main bedroom was great: comfortable bed, nice pillows, high ceilings. The bathroom was clean and well-designed. The shower was a bit small (and certainly smaller than the typical American shower), but this was pretty much an issue everywhere we stayed in Italy. And maybe the apartment's best feature: The air conditioning worked very well and provided a cool oasis during the toasty July afternoons. I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering booking.
