The apartment is in a great location very close to the Colosseum and close to shops, cafes and supermarket. It is nicely decorated and the space is pleasant for 4. It is handy to have 2 bathrooms. The building is modern and clean and the apartment on the second floor (not so many steps with luggage!)

Our stay was punctuated however with a series of electrical inconveniences. There is only enough hot water for 2 showers (we were a group of 4). Like other guests who have reviewed this apartment we ran out quickly. Julia seemed aware of this and suggested waiting half an hour to get more - hardly convenient when wanting to go out and about. Also, we found (like others have) that the electrical system could not cope and on our first morning the power went off. After much running around trying to find the source of the problem (and disturbing the neighbor) we managed to contact Julia who told us how to reset the circuit breaker and informed us that we could not run both the dishwasher and the washing machine at the same time. … in the event this didn't matter as the dishwasher broke down - it seemed to be in need of a thorough service - the filter was cleaned by my partner and the jets were so encrusted that even though it made the appropriate sounds no water was being circulated at all. It was a surprise that we managed to get the machines working in the first place - no instructions were provided - we searched online to find manuals for both appliances (these things are not always obvious to visitors from another country).

We would suggest that a clothes dryer would be helpful as there is no outside space to dry clothes and we relied on an inside clothes horse however we know that this would not work with the limited electrical capacity….

like others we found it a little disturbing that the view from the apartment was into a section of the street that contained the local rubbish collection containers. … not nice to look at but also rather disruptive of sleep as the collection happens during the night.

On balance the apartment itself is very nice and we would stay there again if the issues with the appliances and electricity were remedied, however until they are we would recommend looking elsewhere.
