Our visit to Rome was a great one due to the hospitality of Pina and her family. We were met at a nearby Metro station and quickly became friends. They showed us the easiest path to the apartment, which was only about a 10 minute walk. The apartment was great. Everything we needed including maps of Rome were available. We were there on a very hot week and the air conditioning in the apartment worked well and was very welcome each evening when we came home. The apartment is very clean and quiet. It has a clothes washer, which we used. When we arrived, there was a small basket of treats and juice waiting for us in the kitchen. There was also a bottle of private label wine. Although we do not drink alcohol, it was a very nice gesture that we appreciated. Pina recommended a neighborhood pizza restaurant and when we arrived, we were treated like special guests. We highly recommend staying at this lovely place. We look for places that are not in the tourist centers, but close enough to public transportation to get us to the points of interest quickly. This apartment fit that perfectly. We look forward to returning to Rome and staying with Pina again.
