Firstly, the apartment is in a great location — Right by Piazza del Popolo, which hosts the Ramasses II obelisk. A 15-20 minute walk straight down Via del Corso will get you to most of the major historical sites. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to Spanish steps and Borghese Gardens, and a 15-20 minute walk to Vatican City. Also, there are plenty of grocery options nearby (several Coop and Carrefour locations).
The apartment was very secure. It was also well equipped, with plenty of cookware and tableware. The street is a little noisy, but we actually liked that. The mattress is very firm, but we liked that as well. TV and internet service could be spotty at times, but it still met our needs. The decor was pleasing and the furniture was comfortable.
As a host, Francesco was beyond helpful. He was quick to respond to requests. He arranged transportation to and from the airport. He even replaced our coffeemaker, which wasn’t functioning, with a new Nespresso machine.
I highly recommend this location and host! We are eager to visit again!
