Serena was an excellent hostess. She was prompt in communicating from the beginning of our voyage to Rome. She even offered to pick us up for a fare more reasonable than public transport. The apartment was impeccably clean and welcoming. The street noise is a bit bothersome, but that is to be expected in as central of a location as this apartment. The elevator is nice to send your baggage up as the apartment is located on the fifth floor. We had an enjoyable stay at Serena's apartment. Highly recommend.
