We loved our stay at V&E's place.
It is a delightful apt. with plenty of space, lots of nice conveniences AND located half a block from the Forum.
You can't beat it for location and yet so quiet! We could hear the city bells, the street musicians all the way on the other side of the Forum and the doves cooing in the bell towers the next street over.
It was very safe too. Hardly any traffic and that is just locals.
A small local grocery store is just around the corner which made cooking in our kitchen a delight. We saved so much by having breakfast "at home".
I loved the space between the bedroom and living area. It gave the two of us room to spread out after a hard day of touring.
The location is perfect for the Capitoline Museum, Victor Emmanuel's monument, the Forum, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, and the bus stop to take you to all the other sights.
You have to walk by some of these just to get "home" each night.
V&E arranged our driver to and from the airport which was very convenient. The train station is not close enough to make walking with your bags an option. Emma met us at the apt. and had a place to store our bags until check in time. We walked the neighborhood and sat in a locals' cafe while waiting, just absorbing the atmosphere. No tourists here!
We felt totally taken care of by Ruben who also did the housekeeping midway through our stay, and by Emma who responding to every question and eed immediately.
This is the place to stay if you want to feel like a part of Rome.
