luxury penthouse in the heart of Rome with two terrific terraces on the domes

We had a great two weeks in the apartment. It is old, almost like staying in a museum, the art is terrific, and the location is marvelous. The amenities are older, but the place has a lot of charm.

firstly, it is a great location, fifth floor (with two person elevator) overlooks Tiber, near Campo d' Fiore and walking distance to many great sites. the advert isn't exactly correct on bedrooms. it has a large master bedroom with nice king size bed and a full bath (no tub), an upstairs low headroom loft has a nice king size bed and full bath (huge jetted tub doesn't work) but shower does. There is a nice king size pullout sofa on first floor in office and a twin bed in a loft both that share a 3rd full bath) so 3 bedrooms 3 full bath and an office with a king pullout sofa. all beds reported as sleeping well. the building water pressure is funky as all showers would flow stop for a second and flow again, once you understood how it worked, it wasn't an issue.it's quite large. we ended up using the outdoor table and the TV room for most gatherings. kitchen has everything, the wood burning stove didn't have any accoutrements. no napkins or paper towels provided, a surprise to us as plating food first time.the caretaker doesn't speak fluent English but his mixture of italian, spanish, english and pantomine communicated effectively, would rent again

Unlike some places I have stayed, this one was exactly as promised except location which was even better than I expected. Checking in was very easy and both Olga and Manuel were very accommodating about the timing. There were four of us arriving at different times and we had no problem. I most highly recommend this rental to anyone needing up to 7 sleeping spots.

The apartment is beautiful, with an excellent balcony, plenty of art, paintings and books, and the location is perfect — close to everything and very convenient.However, we were a group of 6, including two elderly family members and one pregnant woman, and the listing was misleading. It advertised 3 king beds and 1 single, but in reality there was only 1 king, a pull-out couch, a single, and a double bed upstairs. The pull-out couch had a very thin, springy mattress that was impossible to sleep on, so one couple ended up splitting up — one on the single bed and the other on the couch.When we arrived, the intercom wasn’t working. Since we didn’t have SIM cards, we couldn’t call the host, and if it hadn’t been for our driver, we’re not sure how we would have entered the building.The apartment was also quite dusty, with yellowed pillows, which made it less comfortable. When we raised these issues, the host stopped replying, which was disappointing.
