Gemma is a lovely person and she made us feel very welcome. We had a wonderful stay in her apartment – 40 days, so quite a long stay. This is a beautiful apartment in the authentic historic center of Rome; just a short walk to most archeological sites and Vatican City (Vatican City – 30 minutes; Forums – 15 minutes; Borghese Gallery – 32 minutes; Colosseum – 22 minutes; Spanish Steps – 15 minutes; Circus Maximus – 20 minutes; Piazza Navonna – 5 minutes). We walked everywhere. However, if you need a cab, they are right next to the Pantheon (1 block away) and there are plenty of electric scooters and electric bikes available just outside the apartment. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is equipped with everything you will need for a stay of any length – dishes, cookware, linens, washer/dryer, excellent AC and heat (we needed both during our stay). We typically ate breakfast and many dinners in the apartment, shopping locally at small grocers. Gemma has decorated the apartment with lovely hand-painted tiles, beautiful chandeliers and scenes of Roman antiquities – it is very charming. The neighborhood can be a bit noisy but that was to be expected given the central location; at night we mitigated this by closing the shutters and windows and using a white noise app - we slept like babies. Many thanks to Gemma – we truly felt at home in her apartment.
