Helene was at the apartment to welcome us when we arrived. She took the time to give us all the relevant information about the apartment and also had Rome maps available which she marked up with all the main points of interest.

She them walked us through the neighbourhood to show us a favourite local restaurant, the nearest supermarket, directions to the laundry and more.

The apartment is exactly as pictured - beautifully decorated and fitted out with everything we needed for our week-long stay.

The location is absolutely brilliant - just a few steps from Campo di Fiori and Piazza Navonna and pretty much midway between the Colosseum and the Vatican so you could walk to both. In fact, you could walk to all of Rome's major attractions - but it's also only a few steps from the main road where all the buses run.

It couldn't have been more convenient.
