There is no doubt that the view from this apartment is breathtaking and its location is perfect for enjoying all of the amenities of the city. We were greeted promptly and given a quick tour of the spacious apartment. The pictures are accurate; the bedrooms are large. There was a washer, an iron and everything else needed. A great grocery is across the street, plenty of coffee bars and one of the best cocktail places in Florence is steps away (Golden View). (The beds need extra pillows - does anyone sleep on one thin pillow anymore?) The downside: the bedrooms overlook the busiest street in Rome, and it is nonstop noise all night. If you are sensitive to noise, you won't be able to stay here. It is nonstop all night from the young people partying to the deliveries to the grocery at 4am. Second, if you are sensitive to mold & mildew, this is not your place either. There was a 3 foot section of green mold on the kitchen wall (seriously) and I texted Luca immediately about it without response. Indeed, we never heard back from him the entire visit. We also let him know that the towel warmer in the bathroom was leaking but no response to that either. In the end, as ridiculous as it sounds, we found a great hotel near the train station and stayed there while using the apartment to meet up with our kids (they couldn't take the moldy smell or noise either), to do laundry, iron and as a nearby bathroom. So, the view didn't make up for the downsides and it was disappointing because it could be so much more with a little work. In fairness, my wife didn't think it was as bad and we all agreed that we should have predicted the noise. But the mold (I have a picture that would gross you out) isn't really acceptable, and the mildew could be taken care of with a solid cleaning (we won't discuss the laundry room condition) even though the property overall was clean and as represented. We won't stay there again, but that's more for the noise as I would expect the owners will address the mold.
