Wow!! My little boy and I have just returned from an incredible 4 days in Rome and it was made all the better for staying at this apartment! A brilliant place within easy reach of the Colosseum in a lovely neighbourhood full of quirky shops, great restaurants, bars and all important gelatarias. The apartment is on the top floor so be prepared to walk up a lot of stairs, but it's worth it as the view and roof terrace are a treat! The apartment was light, airy, tastefully decorated and even had a bath. It has all the essentials kettle, coffee machine, microwave, aircon and Netflix. As Brits, we did miss the fact there wasn't a toaster, but the bakery across the road did great croissants which was a good breakfast alternative.
The apartment was very clean and the bed firm and comfortable (although the pillows were a bit lumpy) It has a comfy sofa, a dining area and lots of pretty fairy lights, so is a lovely cosy place to relax after a long day exploring all the sights. Fabrizio was an incredible host from start to finish and was really reliable, helpful and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. He even arranged a taxi to take us from and to the airport, which made travelling very smooth.
I really can't recommend this apartment enough as it's far enough away from the really touristy area, but still in a buzzy and interesting area and close to the Cavour Metro, so really easy to get around. Check-in was super easy as Fabrizio sends you detailed instructions with pictures, so you really can't get lost. My only small negative is that the main front door on the street is used by a lot of local people as a 'smoking area' so the cigarette butts on the ground are a bit off-putting. But once you're inside the building and up in the apartment, it feels like another world. Grazie mille Fabrizio for letting us rent your beautiful place... we loved it and we loved Rome!
