What can I say about Alessandra and Marco! The greatest hosts, it was like being welcomed by family. They were especially lovely to my 1 year old son, who can politely be described as 'lively'. By the time they had given us a thorough tour of the flat and some excellent local recommendations, he wanted to go home with them!
The apartment is exceptionally charming and quaint. The decor is beautiful and immersive, you can tell great thought and attention has been put into every detail. You really are transported into another time when you walk in.
Our lovely hosts had thought of everything, and had drinks for the adults and milk for the baby waiting. They also had breakfast things (think croissants, jam, toast, etc) out for us, which we very much appreciated the next morning.
Other pluses, like umbrellas and travel plug adapters were nice touches.
The flat is located on the second floor (no lift) of a street that got a wee bit noisy at night, but nothing that stopped the baby sleeping. That is the closest thing I can say to a negative about this place!
The location is truly only a few minutes walk to the Trevi fountain, which meant we visited it daily, and all the other major sites were totally within walking distance. We managed very well, despite having a pram and baby bag to haul around. There were also reasonably priced eating options nearby, as well as shops that had milk and basics for the baby.
I cannot express enough how delightful it was to meet our hosts. They are wonderful, kind people, who went out of their way to make our experience one to remember.
I would recommend having them arrange a car from the airport for you too, our driver Marco was amazing and it was a very easy process to get from the airport to the flat.
Having been here with my Mother and Son, I cannot wait to return with my husband for a romantic break. The flat worked well for a family, but would be extra special for a couple.
Looking forward to getting back to Roma and this wonderful apartment.
