My boyfriend and I stayed during New Years Eve and we had a great time. Gianluca wasn´t available personally due to the holiday, however, he sent a friend Giacomo that explained us the city and showed us the place as soon as we arrived to the aparment. There is also a very helpful list of the places nearby you can go that includes a nearby Cafe lunch place that had the best Pizza we tried in Italy. The location and size is perfect for a couple, just next to the colosseum that allowed us to walk to all the main attractions in Rome. I was worried about the shower due to previous reviews but we didn´t have a problem at all. Also, there is a heater and air conditioner that helps us stayed warm.
