It was truly a beautiful experience.
The house on the top floor over looking other ancient buildings in the neighborhood.
Having balconies on both east and west sides (with lots of greens!) that means the room is sunny and bright all through the day. You are in the city centro but you feel like you are in the garden in the medival ages.
I had to do some work in the daytime while my family was visiting Colosseo, but I felt so good working there!
Yes , there is no elevator to the forth floor but that's no problem for us.
The stone floor and wooden ceilings are lovely.
There are actually 3 bathrooms and one of them have been turned into super modern full bath. It was good for us Japanese to have a deep bath tub.
There are washing machine and even a drying machine in the small hut across one of the terrace and you have a classical barbecue grill on one of the balconies.
There are chess boards and mini billiard board that our kids could play around with.
Espresso maker was great for the morning sip.
Around the apartment you have small grocery stores open until 2am( alcohols until 10) , supermarkets and of course there are tons of adorable Italian restaurants. It’s so surprising you will only find Italian restaurants in Italy (you could occasionally find a few Japanese but none others) but that really shows how confident these people are with their local cuisine!
The house is so close to Piazza di Navona, the best square in the world I believe, although it’s round shaped. My kids and I had a running trip visiting Pantheon, Fontana di Trevi and Piazza di Spagna and back to the apartment and it only took us 45 minuets, less than 5 km.
The room is beautifully decorated by Diana. And Josie was great in finding us on the road wandering around the narrow street where on Earth we could park our rent-a-car in that busy Roman pedestrian roads.
Overall I simply wished we could stay longer in Rome in Diana's apartment.
Hope to be back there soon!
