Emiliano went out of his ay to warn us ahed of time about the air pilot strikes in France, knowing that our airline would be affected. This per-knowledge helped us avert major snafus. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the apartments owner, Olga, and treated to champagne while enjoying the spectacular terrace view. Our two kids loved the apartment, and soon felt they owned the neighborhood. I wanted them to see Rome and to love it as I do. Staying in this wonderful place helped that to happen.
