Our host was friendly and helpful. We had to wait to check in but we arrived very early and were pooped but that wasn't his fault. We met him at a friends copy shop as we were early and then walked to the location. The location is great. The apartment design was really old world and very neat. Great architectural details and very charming. The location was fantastic, a short walk uphill from a town square where locals and tourist gathered in the evening and ate, drank and hung out around a huge fountain. We walked a 1/2 a block and could see the Coliseum. Were were surrounded but restaurants and cafe's. We had plenty of space but no laundry. Our only main issue that wasn't great was that we happened to hit a 30 year HIGH for heat, it was terrible and this apartment has a small floor unit that didn't work well, even after they came to work on it. The lower floor was cooler and had a king bed which was great except the shower tile is leaking down to that lower level and we are very sensitive to mold and none of us could use that level so we were doubled up on the main floor (twin futon) and the upper loft which was very cool looking but VERY hot.
We still had a great time and this apartment is probably great in the not so hot months.
