Valentina’s place was just lovely! It was a quick walk from the bus stop from the airport. It’s located in a residential area of Rome, but it is very close to a few metro stations, about a 5 minute walk, and the metro can take you almost anywhere in downtown Rome! There’s also a grocery store and a small cafe right downstairs outside the building the apartment is located in. The apartment was very clean and easy to get in and out of. There is also a washer, no dryer, but there is a heated rack to hang and dry clothes on. Valentina was extremely helpful, sweet, and responsive to all of our questions over messages even though she was out of the country, and her father who met us/checked us in was just the same. He gave us tons of tips about Rome and offered his phone number in case we needed any immediate in person or over the phone assistance at any time during our stay. :) I would definitely stay here again!
ALSO, bonus!! There is an AMAZING restaurant less than a 5 minute walk down the street. It’s called Gustosando and we ate there for dinner 3 out of our 4 nights that we stayed. The pasta is DELICIOUS!
