Comfortable Apartment
We had a very enjoyable first visit to Rome, which was helped by the fantastic location of the apartment. Just, mainly, short walks to the major tourist attractions and with lots of locations nearby for bars and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable, but could do with some refurbishment in a few areas, particularly the bathrooms, and is much more functional then luxurious, but for a short city break, where you will spend most of the time away from the apartment it was fine. The Italian agents, Weekey, were very helpful, providing a service for the fridge to be stocked when we arrived, giving us a great app, which came via email, providing details of how things work in the apartment, key phone numbers and things to do whilst in Rome. They also are able to book tickets for you for all the tourist attractions etc. They were let down, however, by the company they use to transport their guests from the airport to the apartment. The driver was late picking us up (then had a minor car accident whilst taking us to the apartment, which wasn't his fault, but wasn't a great start to the holiday) and then didn't arrive at all on our departure day to take us back to the airport. Somebody in the Weekey office got a local taxi to collect us within minutes of contacting them and have since refunded us both the cost we paid them for the service and the amount it cost to take the taxi to the airport. If you are using them for this service, I would check with them that they are now using a more reliable company and driver.
All in all, then, comfortable apartment, great location, good service (mostly) from the Italian agents - a good place to base if you haven't been to Rome before. Would we go again - to Rome definitely, however we would look for a more luxurious/contemporary apartment next time.
