The location of Désirée's apartment was fantastic - close to cafes, bars, and the Ottaviano metro stop, not to mention a mere 15 minute walk from St. Peter's. The inside of the place was clean and the terrace was fabulous. Désirée was great, constantly in touch and responding quickly to any questions. She also made sure the apartment was well stocked with amenities, including a fresh bag of coffee, hairdryer, and phone charger among other things.

Upon our arrival, Désirée's friend Patrizio made sure we were all set for a week of Rome living. He showed us around the unit, explained the building's keys and elevator, showed us (naïve Americans!) how to use the Italian coffee pot, and gave us the golden rule of restaurant selection.

We would highly recommend this place to any of our family and friends, and would certainly stay here again ourselves!
