Our booking was made on a last minute basis. We were so lucky that the dates we needed were able to be booked. Our first apartment in Rome, was a super depressing, dark and crazy noisy apartment because it was above a busy restaurant. After 4 stressful days, we decided we had to leave that space. We moved to Francessca’s fabulous modern and huge apartment! I was a little hesitant to stay around the vatican area because i thought it would be quite far from the centre. But transportation was so easy to get and it was convenient to go anywhere or walk to anywhere. We fell in love with the quaint neighbourhood feeling that her area had and the super convenience of a few grocery places and that beautiful daily market right in front of the house! We made daily trips to Cannoli Siciliana cafe around the corner after a long day of exploring Rome. And to the Gelato cafe a few doors down at night for my boys. There are so many restaurants and eateries to choose from on the same street. The apartment was better than the photos with big windows that let in the sunlight. Eventho its on a main road, our bedrooms were at the back of the apartment and we couldn’t hear any noises at all. The place was huge, tastefully decorated, modern amenities and we had everything we needed in there. We enjoyed our stay so much we wanted to stay longer if we didn’t already have another reservation up north. We definitely will try to stay there again if we are ever in Rome! Grazie Mille!
