Nicola and Maria were wonderful. Great communication throughout. Maria even met us at Roma Piazza so we didn't have to search for her place; she even carried my bag up and down many of the bridges! A beautiful person! The tidy apartment is located in a "milder" part of the city...plenty of tourists but off the beaten path (still, everything is rather close on foot--but you can take a water taxi if you wish). It's in a very old building on the 4th floor (5th floor for US). The view from the rooftop is spectacular!! WONDERFUL Sunrises and a great place to sit after a long day of walking around the city getting lost. :-) There's a small TV in the kitchen nook, but unless you speak Italian, you'll find nothing for you. The internet works (weak signal) but only in the big main room...not on the roof, in the bedroom or, if that's your thing, in the bathroom--the modem/router is on the 2nd floor. Cool breezes come through the windows at night which really helps since there is only one very old A/C unit in the living room/kitchen space. Comfortable bed, albeit on the floor. My husband is 6ft tall and had a very difficult time being comfortable in the apartment since all the ceilings are very low and sharply angled. He banged his head in the bathroom and especially many times in the bedroom (we spent 3 nights there). We paid $200/night and really feel it was completely overpriced all things considered. Maria's professionalism and courtesy makes it almost difficult to be this honest. If you're short, don't need internet except to check Facebook and email, speak Italian, don't mind crawling out of bed (especially if you're the person against the wall), really don't want A/C (cool temps during the day), then this cool little space will be just fine. Just be sure to haggle on the price. I almost feel stupid for paying what we paid.
