We were a larger group - four adults and a 2.5 year old. Lorenzo's apartment in Rome was PERFECT! The location cannot be beat. 10-15 min walk from so many things including the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Largo Argentina (ancient ruins) are less than one block away. Walk another 10 min and you're at the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and in the heart of it all. We had no trouble finding busses, tram and taxis within 2 blocks and (this is important for families) a mini market is just down stairs and a full-sized grocery store (Punto) is around 7 min away by foot. The neighborhood is beautiful. Right in the center of everything. If this is your first (or 10th) time in Rome you will be gobsmacked by the beauty and activity of the area.
Now on to the apartment itself. It's on the top floor of a beautiful old building. The pictures are 100% accurate. Two large bedrooms with comfortable beds, clean bedding and fresh towels provided. Lots of room to unpack and hang/store your clothing. The views from the windows are of Rome rooftops and gardens and the beautiful cobble stone streets below. The living room has two huge, comfy couches, and with two full dining areas (kitchen and living room) you have lots of space to spread out and relax. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need, including a coffee maker, espresso makers, kettle, microwave, full stove/oven, dishwasher and full refrigerator with freezer. Nice dishes, pots/pans and flatware. Little things were there to make our stay easy, like tea and coffee in the cabinet, seasonings like salt and pepper for cooking, dish soap, etc. It was lovely.
The utility room has all cleaning supplies you might need. Have some clothes to wash? Easy, as laundry (including detergent) is provided. Encounter some rain on your trip? No problem, there are umbrellas to borrow in the cloak closet!
The two bathrooms were clean and offered a choice between bath (great for traveling with kids) and a stall shower. Soaps and shampoos were there for us as well. A very nice touch.
Communication with Lorenzo was easy. Before we arrived we arranged (at cost) a baby cot, pick up from the airport, and someone to meet us at the apartment and show us around. Two keys were offered which was great for traveling with groups (and isn't always the case with airbnb). The wifi was good and lots of cable channels on the TV if you need to decompress for a few hours on the comfy couches in the living room.
Overall this apartment is beautifully situated, with all amenities you might need to spend a few days or a few weeks in Rome. The price is right and you will not be disappointed with the service and features. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is traveling to Rome. If you go, take me with you! I can't wait to go back.
