Melani was a pleasure to deal with via email. The place was clean and comfortable to stay in. Location was fantastic, when you leave the apartment you can see the colosseum at the end of the road. Lots of great places to eat around the area also.

Downside was the bathroom was VERY small and had a funny smell. The floorboards upstairs are very creaky and feel a little unstable. We had the air conditioning on through the night but would switch off when the bucket was full of water so had to drain it in the morning when we woke up. No natural light in the apartment, only has a very small window but when you open it, it is very noisy from the street traffic. Also after making the booking, we were advised we couldn't check in until after 6PM as cleaning was still to be done. A little bit inconvenient but we were able to drop our bags off at 4PM when the cleaning lady was in. Melani did apologise for the inconvenience but couldn't do much about it as she was out of town for business. She did promise a bottle of wine when we arrived which was no where to be found but wasn't much of an issue.

It was nice to stay in a real Italian apartment but when we came back to Rome after our Tour, we found the hotels to be more comfortable.
