Our stay at Valentina's house was fantastic! The cottage is newly refurbished and extremely clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and equipped with an AC unit, which was much appreciated in the height of the Roman heat. The bathroom was spotless and equipped with a powerful shower head. Valentina also gave us a portable wifi device which was very helpful as we traveled around the city. The shared kitchen was also immaculately clean and stocked with fresh water and pastries. Upon our arrival, Valentina gave each of us a tote bag and made sure we had recommendations for dinner, gelato and breakfast. She was also kind enough to keep our luggage until we were leaving and even called us a cab. The apartment is located right behind St. Peter in Chains and therefore super close to the Colosseum, Via Cavour and about a 15-20 minute walk to the Spanish Steps/Pantheon area. The neighborhood felt very safe.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return to Valentina's cottage during our next trip to Rome!
