We greatly enjoyed our stay at Vicky's place when we visited Rome. The location met our expectations. We were able to walk to attractions like the Colosseum and San Giovanni's Basilica and the San Giovanni shopping district. We were 7 mins walking distance to the Re di Roma metro station which allowed us to navigate through the city center easily and connect to Termini for our day trip to Florence.
Pros
2 Spacious bedrooms-there were 3 of us (2 adults, 1 child)
Updated modern bathroom that included a washer & toiletries
TV in both bedrooms
Stocked kitchen that included breakfast items (much appreciated)
Neighborhood location-safe and lots of shops & restaurants
Porter in building to assist with any issues
Great interactive host during entire stay for any questions-even called a taxi for us
flexible check-in/out times
Cons
No window views (windows in every room to get fresh air)
Ground level next to the elevator
Only common/living area was in the kitchen that included a 5 seat table
Overall
Great value for the money. We would recommend it to others and stay again. Vicky goes out of her way to ensure a comfortable stay with extra touches. I told her it was my birthday trip and she bought me a cake and wine to celebrate! When we arrived at 10am we wanted to go out in the neighborhood for breakfast and she recommended "The Place." They had scrumptious croissants! We were stumped about our first night's dinner place and she recommended Pepe Ristorante San Giovanni. The pizza was amazing! It was a 3 min walk from the apartment. My 10 year old daughter's room was filled with play toys by Vicky. Thank you Vicky for your warm hospitality. You are a great Host!
