If you want a good location for exploring Rome, you can’t beat this place. Everything was a lot closer that we expected! Being about a minute walk from Trevi fountain was so nice because you can go there late at night when the crowds are gone! Plus there is a great café right next to the building! With the exception of the Colisseum, you barely have to leave this neighborhood to have a great time. Great restaurants nearby and a grocery store right across the street.
The hosts could not have been kinder. Nicola’s brother waited outside for us until we arrived by taxi from the train station to make sure we could get in. This was awesome because we weren’t able to use our phones to contact them one we left France and we were nervous about arriving. Nicola’s brother also pulled out a map and got us oriented to the area before he left, which was super helpful. Also, the communication with Nicola was always excellent . The internet wasn’t working, which we let him know and he responded immediately. This was not a big deal, btw, because the café next door has free WiFi, as do many cafés and restaurants nearby (you’ll see it advertised in windows everywhere). The most awesome thing our hosts did for us was arrange for a taxi to take us to the airport on the day we left! This was HUGE! And if it wasn’t for the brother suggesting that we leave earlier than early, we may have missed our flight.
The terraces upstairs were super quiet at night and the air conditioning works great in the bedrooms. Very important if you are there in the summer. There is a lot of room in this apartment! Probably way more room than we needed for two people, but for the price, we figured why not?! Four people would be totally comfortable here! You could even hang out on different terraces!
Again, I can’t stress the location of this place enough.
Thank you guys for making our stay easy!
