We love the work Paola did to keep the apartment authentic. It was just not good for us in August and we left after one night for a hotel. Outside of a heat wave the air conditioning unit might be adequate. It was quiet for Trastevere. We used the pullout bed to position us close to the AC. The bedroom was too warm and there was no air movement. The washer dryer combo was very helpful as we had been traveling for a number of days and with the heat Italy was experiencing they needed a wash!
