Emanueles apartment matches the description perfectly. Its on the edge of Monti and Esquilino, with a nice café and gelateria nearby as well as a grocery store. Check in is a bit odd, as you must message him to remotely unlock the front door but the service in the stairwell is minimal. So make sure to have his WhatsApp ready before you walk into the building and be patient as he sometimes takes a bit to respond. The en suite toilet also wasn't working but he fixed that the following morning. Otherwise, everything was good. He was nice enough to provide some snacks and drinks upon check in as well. The road noise is present but the apartment IS located near a very popular area. The apartment is well worth the price and charm of hearing mass and the church bells from the comfort of the living room.

The location is amazing! (Note: You are in a city and there is city noise. Bring a sound machine if needed!). The space is plenty adequate for a family of four. We brought a camping mattress and put that in the living room).The host was very responsive. The app was lagging in sending messages when we checked in so we switched the WhatsApp and then it was great. The kitchen is was well stocked. but couldn't get the stove to work (probably me!), couldn't find any pans for the oven, and the water kettle was a little gross on the inside.

The location was excellent!

Overall accommodations were good. Sufficient for our ideas kitchen and living room. LR however was quite furniture bare of comfortable. Bath shower in both were VERY inferior. Particularly the tiny 2.2 x 2.2 foot shower. And no allowance for ANY place for soap, shampoo or wash cloths on stall. Frankly VERY POOR for User.
