We are a family with two kids aged 12 and 10. We had a wonderful stay at Emmanuela’s place. Emmanuela was a great host, she booked our taxi transfers to and from the airport and quickly helped us with any questions or issues we had. We were made to feel very welcome by the whole family.
The apartment was great - it was lovely to use the pool (pool times are 10am-1pm and 4pm - 8pm) and the air conditioning was very effective - a real bonus as it was very hot during our stay. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds were comfy and it was great to have two bathrooms.
The location was great - less than 5 mins walk to the metro that takes you to the centre of Rome in 15 mins. There’s an informal pizza place nearby the apartment and a great gelateria but we got the metro to Cavour (in the centre of the Monti district) every night where there are lots of bars and restaurants and lovely old streets to wander round. We found it very easy to do some sightseeing in the morning or early afternoon, come back for a swim mid/late afternoon and then head back into Rome for the evening. We found it very safe to walk from the metro to the apartment late at night (11pm). Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to combine relaxing by the pool with sightseeing.
