This is a great apartment in a historic building. The owners have taken advantage of the high ceilings to create a mezzanine level which houses the two bedroom spaces - so it is all open plan although on different levels. The apartment was spotlessly clean. It looks over rooftops and down onto a lovely and slightly ramshackle courtyard. The furnishings are a little old fashioned but work all together as a traditional Italian apartment. The only downside were the mattresses which were too soft for my back, and very narrow. The apartment is on the third floor and no elevator. We did not meet Rita - she lives in Rome, but instead communicated with a few different staff from the management company which runs her airbnb. Very pleased we stuck to our guns and stayed in this apartment, after the management company (Diana) tried to get us to swap with another guest who was not happy with the one he had booked!!
