The apartment itself is spacious and bright May 2009
The Lora apartment has a wonderful location for 3 different criteria. The location is good for walking to all of the ancient Roman sites which we did daily. The apartment is also located on some very key bus routes that offered exceptional service to the Vatican, Vatican Museums, and other sites that were further away than our elder family member wanted to walk. The amenities that were found amazingly close to the apartment (grocery store, bus tickets, bakery, gelato store, market) were greatly appreciated.
The apartment itself is spacious and bright. As a family of 6, there was lots of room for everyone to sit together or to be apart (depending on what we wanted to do at the time). The entire apartment building is charming and maintained well.
However, the apartment had some drawbacks that we feel are correctable with a little bit of effort.
The showerheads were terrible. They sprayed water everywhere, making the stream of water less effective for showering and making a huge mess in the bathroom. The wet floors were slippery and treacherous after a shower. [Showerheads have been replaced.]
An internet connection would have been greatly appreciated. There were affordable internet cafés in the area, but their hours were unpredictable and it was not something we were willing to let our children visit on their own.
Anyone staying at the apartment should realize that Arenula is a busy, noisy street at all times of the day and more so on weekend evenings. A police station is located close by. The street noise does intrude into the apartment, but should be expected since this is a large, busy city.
I hope this is helpful. We did enjoy our stay in the apartment and I have tried to point out those things that would have improved our time in the apartment during our visit.
