This apartment and experience was fantastic! Monica and Sandro met us at the apartment when we arrived. They explained all of the amenities, provided us wine (!), and gave us a map to the neighborhood which included their favorite restaurants (one of which quickly became one of ours!) Our flight out of Rome was very early in the morning, so Sandro called us a taxi that was there at 4:30am.
Although we are a couple without children, we couldn't help but think that this would be a great spot for a family with kids. The neighborhood is close to the metro so you can get to all of the attractions easily, but it's in a low-key and calm Roman neighborhood, a little bit outside of all the craziness and congestion.
We also couldn't recommend the hosts more. They were so kind and helpful. My only regret is that we didn't have even more time to enjoy the apartment and Rome!
