This was our first visit to Rome and we had no experience of the city so our choice of apartment was dictated by proximity to the major attractions. We could not have picked a better location or host. The apartment is high-ceilinged with air-conditioning (very important considering the local temperatures), beautifully decorated and has all the necessities of a short stay. There are restaurants and bakeries literally outside the door and the immediate area is a warren of cobbled streets with small boutique shops and places to eat and drink. All of the major places of interest are within walking distance as are the major shopping streets.
Carla arranged transport from the airport and was very welcoming on our arrival and immediately mapped out local public transport routes and marked other places to see that were not listed on the tourist maps. She also recommended local restaurants suitable for varying budgets. On our departure she again arranged for transport to the airport.
We had a memorable few days in Rome helped in no small part by the warm welcome and assistance of our host.
Many thanks Carla.
