Not my 1st trip to Rome so location was exactly what I wanted. I'd say the apartment itself was better than expected just because I know what surroundings have to offer. Clean, ac worked great on these hot summer days, ample size. As in description, no elevator, so don't bring heavy luggage (but I'd advise that in Rome anywhere). Washer was in process of being repaired, which I was really hoping to use, but it happens. Would stay in again.
