There were many positive things to say about this gorgeous apartment. Federica was really helpful with many questions that I had and communication with her was easy. We felt very welcome.
The apartment was very clean. The bedrooms are a good size. The beds were really comfortable.
We did not cook in the kitchen but the kitchen appeared to have lots of equipment to assist in cooking.
The washing machine was in our bedroom hidden behind a door and it was very quiet when we used it. The owner also had supplied laundry liquid (in pods) which was great -Thank you. There was a clothes horse supplied and we could have used the outside clothesline but I chickened out as I was scared I was going to drop my laundry on the downstair neighbours courtyard.
The bathrooms were a little weird to be honest, but once we worked out that the small combined shower/toilet was to be the exclusive shower only, it was easy! Loved the hot shower.
We felt very safe.
I would have liked to have been provided with a portable map of Rome or atleast some tips on what to do/where to eat in the local area. There was a big map provided but not practical. By comparison, my brother stayed in an apartment close by at the same time, and the owner had printed up great little maps together with her tips. This was a great idea (I took one) -mind you, my brother's apartment was no where near as lovely as this one (and was more exy)!
There is a negative though and I must be honest....... We arrived here on a Friday night for 5 nights and Oh my goodness, the noise from the Bar Calisto (only about 20 metres away) was really really loud and went on for a long long time. This Bar is a rocking and very popular drinking hole mainly I think with locals (and we even had a couple of drinks there! Very cheap drinks) I think it quietened down about 2am. I dont think I slept until that time. On the Saturday night, I was wearing ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones in an attempt to sleep. The windows also have the traditional wooden slated swing out doors, so we closed the windows and the swing out doors.
On a positive note about the noise.......... We had a big day trip on the Sunday and as we approached the apartment in the evening, I almost cried with joy as the Bar was not open on the Sunday, and I knew I could go to bed earlier than the previous 2 nights. The noise from the bar on the Monday and Tuesday was a lot quiter than the Friday and Saturday and it did not bother us at all.
I loved staying in the area. It was fun, lovely with wonderful restaurants close by.
Thank you for having us.
