The Navona Suite was a beautiful and practical place for our stay in Rome. Specifically:
The Location - The apartment is on a small quiet street between a church and a national museum. It is a two minute walk from the Piazza Navona, and there are many shops and restaurants very nearby. The apartment was quiet at night, but near anything we could need. Because Rome is large enough to make walking to some of the sights a bit too much, we used the bus system and the apartment was very near multiple bus stops which made getting around easy.
The Apartment - The apartment is on the ground floor of a building, at the end of a long entry hall and through a small interior courtyard that is useable by guests. The apartment has two floors - the first floor is a small living room and kitchen with a spiral staircase leading to the second floor bedroom and bathroom. There is air conditioning on both floors. The apartment is both thoughtfully and beautifully appointed. It is comfortable and romantic. It was just the right amount of space for the two of us during our stay.
The Hosts - While the apartment was great, the hosts were even better. First, they took great care to make sure we felt comfortable and welcome in the apartment itself. There were snacks and drinks, umbrellas, an outlet converter - it is clear that Diandra was truly thinking of her guests' experience and wanted to make it as easy and positive as possible. She succeeded! Second, we arrived into Rome by train thinking we would simply catch a cab to the apartment. Unfortunately, a two-day taxi strike had started that day leading to some frustration on our end. As we communicated with our hosts to let them know about the delay, Valerio provided detailed instructions on how to make our way to the apartment by bus. It wasn't as easy as a taxi, but we would have been lost without their suggestions and constant communication as we made our way to the Navona Suite. Diandra also arranged our transportation to the airport upon our departure. Our hosts were thoughtful and considerate and went the extra kilometer for us.
For all of these reasons, we would gladly come back and stay in the Navona Suite. Thank you so much to Diandra and Valerio!
