We are a retired, American married couple and have stayed in Rome for at least a month yearly for the past 20 years. We stayed three nights and were sufficiently pleased that we have reserved this apartment for 10 weeks in 2018. The location is very convenient with a tram line and several buses, as well as a local train station in a few blocks, so one can quickly reach the center of historic Rome. We have vacationed in another nearby apartment for the past 12 years and enjoy the quietness of this neighborhood, as well as the usefulness of the local shops and the three nearby supermarkets. The apartment is as photographed, and is light and airy. The kitchen has very good appliances, and good, basic pots and pans and housewares. I cook most of our meals at home, which is not what short-term renters usually do. Next year during our 10 week stay, I will augment the housewares collection a bit; this is something I've always had to do in any of the apartments we have rented for a month over the past 20 years here in Rome. Our current long-term rental is being sold, so we need a new "home base" in Rome. We especially like that there are two bedrooms and two baths. If you are thinking of having 4 adults here, and if any of you are a bit taller or a wee bit wider than the "average Italian", you may find the beds a bit too small for two adults who are accustomed to a "full American sized" king bed. The living room couches are comfortable, but my less than fully agile husband is unable to arise from their somewhat lower heights. They are easier to arise from than a 1960's "bean bag" chair, however, elderly people may have difficulty with those. Cleanliness. The apartment was clean, certainly equal to or slightly better than the other rentals we have had. To their credit, the hot water heaters were turned on, as was the refrigerator, two rare things in this country where energy costs are extremely high. Yes, there are TWO hot water heaters, one for the kitchen and one for the bathrooms. This is a nice treat. There is a dishwasher, too, as well as a modern electric cooktop and oven. The apartment-sized fridge (NOT a stingy, under-counter model) worked very well and was also very clean. The heating in the apartment was very good. It's the wrong season for me to comment on the air conditioning, but that should work well. The wifi worked well; I didn't test its speed, but then I wasn't playing any heavy-duty "video games". There is a newer television in the living room that had very good reception and a wide range of channels that were not merely the local Italian ones. I'm quite serious, we plan to stay here next year for 10 weeks or so. The monthly discount offered by the hosts was also a deciding...
