Luisa welcomed us by allowing us to arrive early and leave our bags in the apartment while it was was being cleaned from the guests who had left that morning. During our two-week stay, although we didn't need help, she was easy to get hold of and extremely friendly. The apartment was prefect for us, a couple, and we would happily stay again for even a longer stretch. It's neat, clean, comfortable, well provisioned, and well heated for a winter stay (and I imagine, with its numerous windows, breezy in the summer). The Prati neighborhood is excellent--attractive, nicely removed from the hustle and bustle of the center, and convenient for public transportation, walking, and jogging (or biking). It's no problem from there to see the sights of Rome but it's also an extremely pleasant place to experience non-touristic Roman life. We love it.

Luisa speaks excellent English, a nice thing for those of us whose Italian, despite our many trips to Italy, seems never to improve. Thank you, Luisa, very much. Grazie mille.
