Valentina's apt was truly in the PERFECT location. My husband and I loved being situated incredibly close to it all yet having a quiet night of sleep (since the apt is on a residential via). The apt itself has all modern convenience which you could desire. The space allowed us to cook as well as decompress. Lorenzo, Valentina's brother picked us up from the airport (for a fee) and he was lovely to talk to. Very charismatic! We felt a warm Italy welcome right from the start. The only trouble we had was with the hot water but since Rome was so hot we were ok with a colder shower. I recommend this apartment to all who want to walk to everything. We never took a metro (even though the metro was very close).
