We were a group of eight—one grandmother, two couples, one single twenty-something, and two young teenagers, and the place worked perfectly for us. The apartment has three bedrooms with a queen bed each, and a master suite with a queen bed in the main space and a queen sleeper sofa in a generously sized alcove, as well as a large master bathroom that includes a shower and a tub. A second bathroom has a shower, sink, and toilet, and the third (very small) bathroom has only a shower and a small sink, no toilet.
There is a generous living/dining space with a table that comfortably seats eight, a sectional sofa, and a smart TV. There could perhaps be more comfy seating in the living area; we pulled the dining chairs into the living room. Ceilings throughout are high, giving the place a spacious feel.
The kitchen has an oven, a gas stove, a microwave, and a dishwasher, and comes well equipped for cooking meals at home. There’s a toaster, a juicer and a blender, and an electric kettle.
Everything was in working order and super clean. The beds were very comfy.
Two of the bedrooms face a street that is busy at all hours, so if you’re a light sleeper, beware, or grab one of the back-facing rooms. One of the bedrooms leads off the kitchen and is quite small, but worked well for our twenty-something.
We stayed here for a week in December, so we didn’t use the air-conditioning (although there is AC). The central heating worked fine. The place is on the third floor up (4th floor for us Americans), but there is a (small) elevator that makes luggage or accessibility easy.
We had two sets of physical keys as well as a smart phone key code that went live at check-in time and expired at check-out time. It allowed anyone in our group with internet access and the link to enter the building and the apartment.
The location is very convenient to the Cavour metro stop. The apartment is situated at the edge of a cute shopping / eating / strolling neighborhood known as Monti that was fun to explore. Two grocery stores are steps down the road.
The Colosseum is one metro stop down the line, or a short walk. It is possible to walk just about anywhere in the heart of Rome from here within 15-25 minutes. Unfortunately, the heart of Rome is not well served by the Metro and we were advised by the locals to avoid the buses because of pick pockets and unreliability. We did a lot of walking and occasionally took taxis. The Vatican is a metro ride away: about 25 minutes, including one train change at Termini station, but we had no trouble with the metro at all.
Check-in and check-out were easy. Although our host, Marta, was out of town, she arranged for someone to meet us and explain the ins and outs of the apartment. Marta and her stand-in were extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
I would recommend this place in a heartbeat for big groups.
