Sandra and Roberto’s place is an oasis to come home to. Simply but beautifully decorated, leaving enough empty space for guests to feel like they can unpack and move in for awhile, it has everything you might need to be comfortable. And, everything is of high quality and new. The kitchen is well stocked with basics such as olive oil, salt, etc. and the dishwasher works well. The air conditioning was wonderful as it was quite hot in Rome when we visited and though it is on a busy street with a bar down below the apartment, with the doors closed it was very quiet. The place is clean and spacious for two. There is a small balcony where one can watch the world go by and have a coffee or a drink. The ceilings are high and the bed comfortable. It’s a renovated building with an old fashioned New York style lift. But the apartment is on the second floor so you might not even need it. Sandra is quickly responsive to any query so you feel as if you are in good hands. The location in Testaccio is second to none, and close to everything. Good restaurants and the pastry shop around the corner has croissants better than any you have yet tasted. I would go back to Sandra’s place in a heartbeat.
