The experience was great. The host was very helpful and attentive to our needs. I will say that it takes patience with the elevator.Due to the apartment being on the 4th floor, the elevator can only hold 2 people at a time so if you are traveling with a group of people some will have to take the stairs or plan time to get everyone up and down. Also be aware that it takes 30- 40 minutes for the water to heat up for showers, that can be rough for a large group. But over all the location was great. Very family friendly. Great selections of restaurants and shoping.

Our stay was memorable. The apartment is beautiful and equipped with all the conveniences one could possibly need. We couldn’t have been more comfortable. The host is very quick to respond to any question and makes you feel at home. The view is so spectacular that it is difficult to leave the home in order to visit Rome. We have been to Rome many times over the years . Without question this stay was our very best. Heartfelt thanks go to our host .
