We feel truly fortunate to have stayed at Salvatore's wonderful apartment near Christmas time. He brought us wine, pastries, sandwiches and fruit for the festive occasion and gave us a warm welcome. He explained everything very clearly both verbally and in writing. The first impression already won us over.
We love the apartment. It is super clean and quiet. The bed is comfortable and the showers are strong in both bathrooms. The kitchen stove( Smeg induction) and the washer plus dryer are a joy to use. The kitchen is well- stocked and has everything one would need to prepare a meal.
The location is perfect for our purposes as it is just a short walk from the Vatican museums and less than five minutes on foot to the Cipro metro station. There are good supermarkets, grocery stores,and restaurants nearby.
We were a bit concerned when we saw graffiti on the outside of the building but soon realized that they are all over the city. The neighborhood is residential and safe. The streets are well- lit and there is police presence at the metro all the time.
Most important of all, Salvatore is a lovely gentleman who makes us feel like friends and not just paying guests. We cannot thank him enough for all the things he did to make our stay so enjoyable and memorable.
We would highly recommend his apartment to all who wish to have a nice stay in Rome.
