Lorenzo: a fantastic host: very hospitable but not intrusive. speaks great english. offered to arrange for car service from the airport, which was very helpful in delivering us to the right destination upon arrival to rome by plane.
Palace: superb location if you are looking for a hip neighborhood. the bedroom and the terrace overlook a lively square that is filled with young people drinking on the street at night.
sleeping at night was no problem, however, because the windows are double-paned and cancel out the noise almost completely.
easy walk to many great sight-seeing destinations and plenty of great restaurants to eat nearby (e.g. spirito di vino)
the kitchen is small but functional. it is located on a mezzanine level before you reach the bedroom. it is a bit cramped because the ceiling is low. this was not a problem because we ate on the terrace, which was beautiful and spacious.
in general, all the house appliances are state of the art and the furnishings, like the sofa and the bed, are extremely comfortable.
