Daria is an exceptional host and made sure that we were well looked after from the beginning to the end of the stay in her exceptional apartment in the heart of historic Rome. Communication through email was excellent and she arranged a transfer from the airport. The apartment itself has just been redecorated very stylishly. There is a completely new kitchen and the rest of the apartment has been exceptionally tastefully decorated with original artworks. The roof terrace is beautiful and very relaxing to sit on at any time of day (and this is why the apartment is really worth climbing the stairs for). Daria provided a very helpful list of restaurants, bars and other local facilities and we really enjoyed sampling some of these. At the end of the trip she looked after our luggage before we had to leave for our evening flights (and she also stayed to see us off in the taxi she had booked). The location is also amazing, just a hundred yards from the top of the Spanish Steps and not far from the Trevi Fountain. At night the apartment is very peaceful. There is also a sound system which plays the radio through speakers in the flat, as well as a good wifi signal, and we enjoyed watching DVDs on the TV while we were in the comfortable bed.
