Benedetta wasn't at home when we arrived (we met her later), but her husband and son gave us a warm welcome, inviting us to have a very tasty home-made dinner with them.
The apartment is well located for exploring the centre of Rome, because it is well connected yet at the same time in a peaceful residential neighbourhood. In terms of getting into the centre there is a tram stop just outside the front door of the building, which takes you to Piazza de Popolo in 15 minutes, from where you can walk anywhere you like. Getting home is just as easy.
The room is large and spacious, having its own terrace and a comfortable bed. One downside is that there isn't any cupboard space to hang clothes or put things away, as a peek inside the large built in wardrobe revealed that all the space was already taken up by the family's things.
There are two very affectionate cats at home and they seem to love coming into the guest room, so it's an ideal place for cat lovers.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and would come again :-)
