We are all so sad to leave. The apartment is just beautiful. It is tastefully furnished, and having appliances like the dishwasher and washing machine made it so much easier to clean and then get out and enjoy Rome.
The location is north of the city but the new metro line makes it easy getting in. Val Melaina the area where the apartment is located, was in De Sica's film The Bicycle Thieves and you cannot help but imagine the new area being built in the 30s! It is very local, very much part of the Roman suburbs movement of the interwar period. A great market is a walk away, there are two large supermarkets, and don't forget to have a croissant in the Pasticceria Milli close by!
I felt like we were staying in a friend's home, not a stranger's! Mariapaola and her brother are just the kindest people, as well. We loved, loved staying in the apartment!!
