I’ve spent five days in Valentina’s apartment in the beginning of September. I stayed there all by myself and was looking for a relaxed Rome-experience. It was just perfect! The apartment is located close to Vatican City, very close to two Metro stops. I found the Metro the best means of transportation to get to the major sightseeing points – its cheap (1.50 Euro per ride), fast and reliable (no traffic jams).
The apartment is on the first floor, decorated romantically and tastefully. It has air-condition in the bedroom and in the living room. During the night I had the windows closed – it seals off the traffic noise pretty effectively.
I loved the kitchen! It has a 4-flame-gas stove with oven, a microwave, a fridge, a dishwasher and all the dishes, pots and pans you could wish for nice cooking – which I did not, because the food in the restaurants I visited was superb – even in less expensive places. I love Rome!
The bathroom has a large sink with hot and cold water, a bidet, a toilet and a shower – plus a washing machine. Valentina provided sheets and towels.
I loved the fast internet connection in the apartment with close to 100 mbits down.
Valentina is a wonderful host. We had good communication in the days before. She gave excellent advice how to get from the airport to her place. So I arrived just in time. When at I walked up to the given address she waited for me in front of the house, showed me around and gave me a complete rundown on how to operate everything in the apartment. That way I got a perfect start. I had not to ask for anything during my whole stay.
All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend Valentina’s apartment for nice stay in Rome! You won’t be disappointed!
