Federica is a model host. She went out of her way to get us the keys, meeting us where our students were staying. The apt was even more lovely than the photos and impeccably clean, entirely modernized and updated, with extremely comfortable furniture and decorated with gorgeous photos of her travels. She left lots of little touches like a jar of cookies and coloring materials for my 6 year old, and has been extremely clever with things like extra storage space. The apt is also extremely well equipped, from extra towels to laundry detergent--we didn't need to buy anything extra. It also has amenities such as AC and window screens, which are not always standard in Rome. It's in a lovely 1920's building with a court yard that has fruit trees and a small goldfish pond. The neighborhood is great--in the shadow of the Vatican walls, but feels like a local neighborhood. Transportation is right down the street, along with a little piazza with excellent food and gelato. One of Rome's great covered markets is down the block. We lacked for nothing. On the few occasions we needed help (we blew a fuse, and the elevator stopped working) Federica was right on it--responded immediately to our text and got the issue resolved. She also told me where she got her beautiful bedding so I could go buy some of my own to take home! All in all, I can think of nothing negative to say about our host or her apartment. We truly felt at home during the month we were there, and I would absolutely stay again and recommend this listing to friends and colleagues. Grazie mille Federica!
