My husband and I had a great time at Stefano's apartment. It's location couldn't be better. It's in a great neighborhood on a lively street with lots of restaurants and food shops and even a grocery store nearby. The Piazza Navona is just around the corner, and it's walking distance to the Pantheon, the Forum, and the Vatican.
The only drawback is the four flights of stairs, but it's worth the climb to have a place that's quiet and peaceful. We loved being able to sit on the terrace with our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.
The apartment itself has plenty of room and is very comfortable. The kitchen is very small, and I wouldn't want to try to cook a full meal there, but it was just fine for our needs.
On most evenings we only needed to leave the terrace door open to cool the apartment. A couple of nights were hot enough that we were really grateful for the air-conditioning. Rome can get really hot in the summer, so having air-conditioning available is a major plus in my book.
We didn't get to meet Stefano, but he sent his friend Luigi to check us into the apartment. He arranged transportation to and from the airport for us and responded quickly and positively to a couple of small requests.
