The apartment is in a fantastic location! We were walking distance to everything, and Barberini station, which took us to the Vatican Museums/St. Peter’s, was just a two minute walk (if that) from the apartment. The air conditioning was also a nice thing to have after a long day in the sun. We also very much appreciated the washer and iron/ironing board. We had everything we needed in the apartment and would stay again.
The only things to note, which have been noted by previous reviewers, are the low ceilings (we hit our heads a few times too) and the loud, rickety noise of the upper loft’s wooden floors. The hot water is also tricky. We found that one of us had to shower in the day and the other at night so we could both take warm showers. Also note the tax has to be paid in cash, but we were informed of this well ahead of time and were ready. The door to the apartment unit is a bit tricky as well (you have to push then pull once you unlock it before it will open).
Overall, the location can’t be beat at this price. We walked to nearly all of Rome’s most popular sites and really felt like we could get to know the city during our short time there. Would definitely recommend as long as you aren’t super tall/don’t mind bending a bit on the second floor.
