This place is fantastic as advertised and we really appreciated the lack of breakables sitting on tables etc for us to negotiate with the children. :) There is plenty of room to stretch out after a busy day on the packed streets of Rome. The apartment is located on a high traffic but safe street exactly where you want to be, walking distance to everywhere!
We had a few issues that caused me to rate the place as 4 stars, even though I would have loved to give it 5.
We waited on the hot busy sidewalk for about 10 minutes with our luggage and small children for the host's agent to arrive with the one key to the apartment. There is an outer door for building security. The ONE key required serious communication if our group separated during the day.
Our group used every bedroom in the unit. The air conditioning unit in one bedroom did not cool. The rest of the house units worked great and we were very comfortable. Beds were very comfortable but sofas could use some attention. We ran out of water at one point for about 1 hour. I can only imagine that they have a tank that feeds the unit as eventually we had water pressure again. The kitchen needs a few more utensils for cooking if your group wants to consider preparing a meal. But there is plenty of dishware. The oven threw the breaker and we were without power for about 1 hour. The unit is rather quiet except there is a bar across the street that we heard occasionally past midnight on one side of the apartment. The host was very communicative with us when we contacted him, but still these issues were pretty substantial.
