Rita made us feel like family. Her friend Norita picked us pat the airport and Rita greeted us upon our arrival at the apartment, which was exactly as described and stocked with all sorts of necessities and extras. There was fresh fruit, eggs and yogurt, all kinds of bread, butter and jam, crackers, cookies, coffee and tea, juice and milk, maps, soap. The apartment is small but we used it for our base of operation for over three weeks and loved it. There is a washing machine and ironing board, good shower, lots of towels and even hair and body products. Beyond that, Rita and her husband Fabio were so helpful in acclimating us to our neighborhood, so close to ancient Rome and all the essential sites. There are wonderful coffeeshops, restaurants, gelato shops and stores within walking distance. We would definitely come back. Even though the space is quite small, as she describes, Rita has arranged it efficiently. She helped us up the three flights of stairs with our luggage, which was so nice and drove us to the airport upon our (sad) departure. We are walkers and used the apartment to walk all over Rome with great convenience due to its location. We especially liked the apartment's proximity to Trastevere and the Sisto Bridge. We ate and shopped across the river several times. Thank you, Rita, for making our Roman holiday especially wonderful.
