The apartment was exactly as described. The only "drawbacks" I could think of are that the shower is small, so a larger person might have some issues. At 5'8" and 190lbs it was a tight squeeze for me, but manageable. The only other drawback was the apartment is on what we in the US would consider on the 5th floor and its all steps, no elevator. I actually enjoyed the walk, but I can see that being bad for some people.
On to the good stuff....its located near just about everything you want to see or need. The Colosseum, Spanish Steps, all of Palatine Hill, numerous religious sites, famous fountains are all less than 20 minutes of wandering through streets ( I never took a direct route). Grocery shopping, phone help (Vodaphone), Mail Boxes Etc, clothing shopping, and great places to eat are all over the place, if you dont mind a 5 minute walk. Everyone in the apartment building was kind and helpful. Lolli herself answered any questions quickly either by email or text and was a wonderful host. She provided a map, list of places to eat and some other introductory information about Rome. There was an iron in the apartment that worked for straightening up clothes wrinkled by travel, and the internet (wireless) worked perfectly. I would easily stay here again and recommend it to everyone. The bed was comfortable and the street (I left the windows open instead of using the AC) was quiet after about 9-10pm. I would stay here again, no questions asked.
