This was our first trip to Rome and Gaia’s apartment was the perfect base from which to explore. We were able to walk to the apartment from Termini station in about 10 minutes, but the metro station is just two streets away if you don’t want to wheel your case across town. Although it’s not central, we were able to walk everywhere from the apartment, including to Vatican City which is 5 kilometres away.
Gaia is a superb host; she kept in contact with us before we arrived and was available by phone to answer any questions during our visit. Gaia gave good local advice about the best places to shop and eat and this was welcomed. We would also recommend a cocktail/wine bar just around the corner called Gatsby Café, great for live music in the evening.
The apartment felt spacious for two people and there was plenty of storage space for clothes etc. Also, unlike someone else’s comment, we found the bed to be comfortable. The kitchen area, because of its compact size, has limited preparation space, but it is fine for cooking straightforward quick dishes. We would certainly recommend Gaia’s apartment and would happily stay there again.
