The apartment was absolutely lovely. Much bigger than we expected, it was beautifully furnished and well equipped right down to the rain jackets and umbrellas we gratefully borrowed one night when it was pouring with rain. Metella was a wonderful host. Her husband helped carry my mother in law's suitcase up the stairs, she gave us lots of great recommendations and left us a few fascinating books about the history of Rome. We had a wonderful stay and couldn't recommend Metella's place more highly.
