Giulia's place was exactly as pictured. It was absolutely spotless and just a few minutes walk from the Colosseum. The balcony was perfect - a little oasis away from the busy city. It was really lovely to have that space to come back to after a long day of walking. Like others have said, it's a 4 floor walk up with no elevator, so pack light. :) Direct and quick communication with the host made us feel comfortable. I'd recommend staying at Giulia's place when you come visit Rome!
