Adele’s apartment is very nice, clean, looks the same as shown in pictures, conveniently located at about 10 mins walk from Roma Termini train station in a good neighborhood. One can actually see Roma Termini station after walking about 100 steps from Adele’s apartment.
We self checked in around 10 pm on Christmas night by walking from Roma Termini station after taking a bus ride from FCO airport. It’s about 15-20 mins walk from bus drop to Adele’s apartment. The neighborhood along the way is good and safe to walk with kids. The side walk can be brutal on the wheels of the roller luggage due to very uneven side walk and 4/5 road crossings. Adele’s apartment itself is on third floor. Apartment has an elevator/ lift. Self check in process is very convenient.
The apartment itself is clean, nicely painted, bright, equipped with nice kitchen, adequate kitchen utensils & silverware, refrigerator, microwave, gas burner cooktop, laundry washer and clothesline air drying, hot water in sink and showers, two bathrooms....be careful with the faucets in the bathroom when opening...open slowly..., three bedrooms with comfy beds. It’s a decent size apartment for six people.
There is a laundromat downstairs literally next door. The pizzeria located at the corner in the same building is a gem....opens very early in the morning and closes around 11/11:30 pm...run by single employee/ owner..offers decent variety of pizzas by weight/pieces...veggie pizza options available...some of the pizzas are also no-cheese pizzas for lactose intolerant people like me....love it...Mama Angela restaurant in front had great food. The gelato shop on the street was closed during our stay. Restaurants in the neighborhood offer good food...catering to a mix of tourists as locals..
Adele herself is very responsive. We discovered that the apartment had become cold during second night of our stay. We had to reach Adele about that around 10:30 pm. She responded in WhatsApp message very quickly and told us how to reset the water heater that had tripped. The apartment air is heated using space heaters that run using hot water, the same hot water is also used in bathrooms and kitchen. The water heater had tripped at least 4/5 times during our 3 night stay there. In fact it had tripped in the middle on one night and the apartment became very cold. I reset it and the apartment became warm again. There are some hostels near by. Once in a while, one can hear people talking on the street downstairs during late hours of the night (2/3 am) despite all of windows of the apartment being closed. It’s not much of nuisance, but on can hear it, if someone decides to talk loudly on the street below the windows.
I would highly recommend Adele’s apartment for families including small kids. It’s also fairly priced, when we booked it for Christmas night of 2019.
Thank you Adele for such a lovely stay in Rome.
Ciao
