I booked this apartment on the first night of my trip in Rome because the first place I booked was horrendous! Federico wasn’t free to show me in as I got stuck in terrible traffic due to rain but he made sure someone was there to welcome me. His friend helped me with luggage and showed me around the place. Coming to this apartment was a breath of fresh air! The second the huge front doors open onto a courtyard it felt good! My parents and I absolutely loved the old fashioned lift! My parents are elderly and disabled (but able to walk) so this was a fantastic feature to the place. Even the staircases outside of the apartment felt light and airy and clean! Stepping into the apartment it felt cosy but spacious enough for 3 adults to have their own space. The tiled floors made it feel very Italian. The open plan living and kitchen was so pretty, we enjoyed drinking coffee at the large breakfast bar whilst listening to music. I have the exact same stove at my own home which was great! The place was literally spotless! From the lounge to both bedrooms and bathrooms. The bathrooms are so stylish it felt like a hotel. The most important thing for me was on the first night there I felt completely safe and I slept in the smaller bedroom right by the front door. Having had a terrible night in the previous apartment where I barely slept from noise, filth and fear, it was so wonderful to wake up in this lovely place having a peaceful nights sleep. Federico was at the end of the phone whenever I needed him (which to be fair wasn’t for anything other than arranging transfers) and he called me to welcome me and make sure everything was ok. He recommended restaurants too and I managed to go to one which I loved and it was right down the road. Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him but he still made me feel very welcome. My parents are hard to please and they were so at home and so very pleased with this apartment. I can’t recommend the place enough. Such a fantastic place to stay!
