I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Eleonora's flat in Rome! Upon arrival she met us early for check-in and offered so much information for extra things to do outside the norm or tourists habits. Plus, she was about the kindest and most thoughtful host. Leaving sweets, treats, and a bottle of vino for us weary travelers. We were so comfortable we found it difficult to leave!
Location: only a five minute walk to the metro. Or an 8 euro cab ride to Piazza Venezia. It's location is easily recognizable by taxi drivers so never a problem getting to and from.
The flat: 2 cozy bedrooms. Plenty of heat if you need it, or open a window and a nice cool breeze from outside. We visited in March so can't comment on how'd it's be in July. Although I'm sure it would be lovely as the home doesn't get direct sunlight. Also, my cousin slept in the third bed above the kitchen and said he slept like a baby!
Restaurant recommendations: had the best meal in all of Italy just around the corner from the flat. Machiavelli's. I already miss this restaurant. We tried to go twice but couldn't get the second reso. Call or email as they speak English and are delightful people. We only paid 160 euro for 5 adults and we all ate our share at dinner and had two bottles of wine and four desserts between us!
Eleonora specifically asked me to comment on anything we felt needed to be improved upon...I'm sorry, but I cannot. We miss you already Eleonora!! Thank you!
