This place is the real deal. We got into Rome late and Patrizia was waiting there for us which was extremely helpful. The rooms were sparklingly clean with many of the amenities looking brand new. All of the equipment you need is available (although a bigger chefs knife and cutting board would be appreciated!) and the suite is about a 5 minute walk to the supermarket with smaller fruit stores within a minutes walk. The metro is about a 10 minute walk away and easily links you right into the heart of rome and its many attractions. This suite is definitely on the outskirts of Rome, so much so that you don't get the flat rate to or from the suite if you're going to the airport, but this is very much a "local's suite". If you want a safe haven away from the tourists, this place is an absolute must. Patrizia gave us a lot of good maps and advice and on our final day, we went to the local spot (binario 96) and we were probably the only tourists there. All in all, while it might be less suitable for the elderly or very young children, I would highly recommend it for practically everyone else. Wonderful experience and gladly recommend.
