On the positive side -- Although we never met him -Svevo was very very communicative and hospitable ( left us a bottle of wine) . His cousin checked us in and was extremely nice and helpful too. The apartment is in a great location for seeing the sights and experiencing the nightlife in Monti, the wifi hotspot is very useful and much appreciated bonus.
However- the suite is small, stuffy, and inadequately ventilated, running the fine line between vintage and just plain old. The bathroom is very small and the shower doesn't drain well - making the bathroom experience not great.
Lastly, if you plan to spend any time in the room - there is really no place to sit comfortably and relax.
All in all, for us it served its purpose well - as we spent very little time in the room and just needed a base for enjoying Rome- and it's ideally located for that and fairly priced as well.
