Our stay with Giovanni and Sonia absolutely perfected our trip to Rome. They welcomed us warmly, even after we came two hours late due to our delayed flight. We found our time spent talking with Sonia before going to sleep or heading out for the day was just as wonderful as our time out sightseeing. She made us feel completely at ease and assured us that we could use anything we needed.
The apartment itself is beautiful and our bedroom was very comfortable. The view out the window is just as advertised- exactly what you would picture out of a Roman apartment! We felt completely safe at all times in this area as well- it was bustling with locals, tourists, street musicians, etc and no matter how late we were out we were never nervous about our safety. It is a little noisy at night because of the cafes in the street below, but that was easily remedied with some ear plugs and I slept very soundly.
The location could not be better. We were able to avoid using transportation altogether because we were able to walk to all of the sights from the apartment, no problem. There is a market just a few minutes walk away that we visited each morning for fresh fruits and veggies to snack on through the day. If you did want to take public transportation, there was a stop just a few minutes walk away.
I don't think this review could do justice to just how wonderful our stay here was. It truly made our experience in Rome unforgettable.
