We had a fantastic stay and Flavia was an amazing host. She greeted us on arrival and took us up to our apartment. The lift opens right into the apartment (4th floor) and first impressions were amazing. A spacious apartment with 3 bedrooms (all with ensuite), a large lounge with 2 doors onto the balcony (also a balcony off the main bedroom). The bottle of bubbles was very welcome and the notes on local places to eat was helpful. On our first night, we crossed the Via Nazionale, went down Via Agostino Depretis and went to a local pizzeria on the right hand side before Via Cesare Balbo (they didn't speak much English but were very welcoming and it was filled with locals) where we had the best pizza of our trip. The apartment was situated on a quiet street (very welcome in Rome) and was within walking distance of everything - 15 minutes to the Colosseum, 5-10 minutes from Piazza Barberini and Santa Maria Maggiore (both stops on the Hop on Hop off bus). You can catch the bus to the Vatican (no. 62) 2 minutes away on Via Nazionale - we caught the bus there but walked back through Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain etc which was amazing. Highly enjoyable stay.
