My husband, teenage daughter and I stayed in this wonderful apartment for 4 days while doing a power tour of Rome. We wanted to see all the important sites, but minimize the intensity of the crowds and heat (summer). Our priorities were safety, walking distance to cafes/restaurants/shopping, and a place that maintained authenticity. This was exactly what we got in a quiet, neighborhood. We walked to Vatican City, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, never took public transportation because you miss out on all the gems along the path. Each day and evening, we spent out on the incredible terrace to unwind or begin. Many times due to jetlag, we were up before sunrise and enjoyed coffee in the kitchen with views of the sunset streaming through the bell towers. Rooms were nice and cool (air conditioning), we made a huge Italian pasta feast with fresh ingredients from the Campo de Fiori market in the adorable kitchen, all appliances functioned. Bring your adaptor for phone charger, etc). Do be aware that you'll get a workout from the stairs, both up to the apartment and in the apartment itself We are a fit family, but definitely felt our legs after 4 days of stepping! Wonderful.
