Manuela’s apartment near Campo dei Fiori was the perfect place for our stay in Rome. I chose it mainly for its location in my favorite part of the city. For those who don’t know Rome, this is the place to be: a stone’s throw from the Tiber, where my husband and I went running along the bike path that runs for quite a ways along the river, away from traffic; steps from the sites that many first-time visitors would want to see, like the Piazza Navona, the Campidoglio, the Colosseum, etc.; but also in a vibrant neighborhood with its own local character. The apartment is bright - white walls, high ceilings, several windows and a skylight over the kitchen area, plenty of good lighting - and simply appointed in a sleek, functional, modern way. We even used the washing machine that is tucked under the kitchen counter. No dryer, as is typical in Italy, but there is a folding plastic drying rack that you can use to let your clean clothes air dry. The apartment had very reliable wifi which was important to us. Manuela was totally responsive to all of our communications and was extremely accommodating. We didn’t meet her, but a friend of hers let us in and explained everything we needed to know. Manuela also allowed us to check out later in the day than is typical so that we wouldn’t have to park our bags at a local storage place until we had to leave town. I would definitely stay here on my next visit to Rome!
