Simona is a very pleasant person who was ready to answer any queries that we might have had during our stay. She was willing to arrange a taxi to take us to and from the airport and we used her service to return at the end of our stay. We did not need any help or advice from her during our stay.
The apartment was generally fine. Very comfortable bedrooms both which led on to a lovely balcony. This was the best part of the apartment - so nice to sit on the balcony and relax at the end of a busy day!
The apartment is a little way from the centre and it took about half an hour walking to get there, but we could have got a bus. There was only a very small shop a short walk away to buy limited daily provisions. We did not use the buses which stopped very near the apartment. We used the taxis to get back because their prices were reasonable. We found that we got the cheapest rides back if the person sitting next to the driver had a map of Rome on his/her lap and followed the route back on it!
The apartment is quiet and spacious with everything that one would need. We did not do any cooking there and so cannot comment on this area. The sitting area was not so comfortable as there was only a small settee for two people and a bean bag which we did not use.
