My family and I just returned home from Italy today and this was our first stay while in Rome. The apartment was very spacious for my husband and I along with our two teenage sons. We had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen, dining area and living room space. The building was very secure with key entry into the building and also our apartment. I can’t comment about parking because we didn’t rent a car but the street and neighborhood were quiet. The apartment is located in the Esquilino area of Rome, which was the perfect combination of a quiet city neighborhood, great small shops, bars and restaurants without feeling like you’re staying with a huge mass of tourists. We really felt like we were locals which my sons were happy about and an amazing first experience for them visiting Italy. The apartment included all amenities- washer/dryer, linens, espresso machine, full kitchen with dishwasher, etc. The best amenity by far for us was the AC. Of the 10 days we spent in Italy(four in Rome), the AC was hands down the best of any other place we stayed. A definite plus given the 95 degree heat! Negatives were a few of the appliances didn’t work (clothes iron leaked, no ironing board, washing machine was very difficult to turn on). Overall, great place to stay!
