First of all, this apartment is HUGE!!! When I think of staying in an apartment in a big city like Rome, I expect a much smaller studio type apartment that has been turned into a place that can sleep more people than it really should. But Emanuele's place- Huge!! If I were to move to Rome and rent an apartment for my family of 5 - that would be what I am looking for.The building is beautiful on the outside. And perfectly Italian on the inside. Just like a movie or TV. Also, it was sparkling clean and smelled so good, when we walked in! Second, the location is perfect! There's a supermarket across the street, restaurants , gelaterias and a souvenir shop right next door. The Colosseum is a 15 minute walk away. There's an incredible basilica right net too it. The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore- with the piazza is called of course. The bells are lovely to hear! Taxi's are easy to get as well, but Emanuele can also book a van or other transportation to pick you up. I would book this place again and again!
