I booked Valerio’s place for a friend (Jim) and did not stay in the apartment at any time; I was only able to see it as I accompanied my friend into the apartment. From my one peek I can say that the pictures give an accurate sense of this fun and quirky space in a fantastic location in the heart of historic Rome.
We were not met by Valerio but by his friend Simone who was pleasant and spoke good English- very helpful for my friend Jim who speaks no Italian; Simone explained the workings of the apartment and the house rules to Jim.

At the end of his stay, Jim told me that he enjoyed The apartment very much; he particularly liked the dining room table and internet access which provided a comfortable place to work; he said the bed was very comfortable and the hot water for showers strong and plentiful. Jim was happy, the location ideal for a stay in Rome.
One thing I would like to mention about access - as the listing states, there is an Elevator/Lift for anyone requiring assistance but one must climb a significant staircase to reach the elevator; then, the front door entrance to the apartment is 3-4 steps down from the landing outside the Elevator.
