We had a wonderful overall experience with this apartment and with Collette and her husband, Rafaelle, as hosts. Everything in the apartment shown on Airbnb were present and worked well. In contrast to some other places, the Wifi connection was available throughout the unit and with acceptable speed. We were also looking for air conditioning and laundry and were not disappointed. The apartment has the very nice touch of a woman who knows how to make it feel like home. The kitchen was well equipped with most everything needed, but we didn't try to cook dinner. The balcony on back was enjoyable and a good place to enjoy some open space, though not secluded from neighbors if that's what you're looking for. We would definitely come back here.

A word about Tastevere and the street this apartment is on. While the apartment is on a higher floor and faces away from the street, and is therefore very quiet (my wife is very sensitive to noise and slept well), Tastevere is extremely popular in the evening - and does have tons of dining alternatives. WIth all the Rome campuses of various universities and tons of college students, it's like Spring Break in Florida every night! We enjoyed the night life and people watching opportunities, and there was never a sense of danger or anything like that, but if you're looking for a quiet corner of the city, this ain't it. All of this does not detract from the apartment or the wonderful hosts.
