This is the place to be in Rome. It is stylish, well equipped and so convenient for transport options. We had been to Rome before this trip and thought we might like to re-visit the major places, but alas, Rome has changed since 1980 (our last time here). So many tourists and so, we loved the local, less touristy areas, around the apartment. The local market at Piazza Empiro, the walks in the adjacent and ancient green park areas, to be at Piramideand the "non-Catholic cemetery" in 15 minutes (think Keats, Shelley, Gramschi, Von Goethe), the walks to Terme Carracolla, the short walk to Metro San Giovanni. A perfect location really. On many days we spent the entire day locally without another tourist in sight. Perfect.
And Donatella and her mother, Marco and Livia were the iceing on the cake! We felt like family from the first moment with them. Wonderful hosts.
By the way did we mention how Rome is laid out at your feet from the 10th floor of the building? St Peters, Caracella, Chiesi de San Giovanni at Laterano. Perfect, prefect, perfect!
