We arrived in Rome very beat from the flight over from Virginia via Boston. We were so exhausted and so happy that our hosts were able to provide us with an early check-in hours before the official time for such. Monica and Sandro were there to great us on arrival. From the minute we walked in the door we knew we had made the right decision. It was also terrific that they they were such sensitive humans as to see how tired we were and get us oriented and settled and leave us to rest with such efficiency, while making us feel confident that they would be readily available for any needs that might arrive during our stay.The apartment is simply gorgeous! Every detail from the marble tiled floors to the smartly designed kitchen are perfection. We learned to shop in local nearby markets and loved cooking our breakfasts at home before our busy days out. The bathroom is elegant right down to the heated towel rack. The furnishings are so fine, we felt immediately like we had arrived in your own places for our 9 night stay in Rome. The bedrooms are at either end of the space down a long central hall, so we each had so much privacy. Everything works and is gorgeous. We were in walking distance to many discoveries and central to all of the important sights of Rome. If you are headed to Rome and are fortunate enough to book the Casa Sorrentino, do it!!! And by the way, Monica and Sandro returned in the early morning of our departure to see us off to the airport and had our taxi waiting.
