I stayed in Cristina’s apartment for 2.5 months and within the first week it felt like home. Cristina made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed our conversations whenever we met. She also arranged a cleaner to come in once a week, (also called Cristina) who was a wealth of information for local places to see, the best beaches to go too along with other sites that I didn't know about so I found her invaluable and genuinely helpful.

The location of the apartment is excellent. It’s non-touristy so you feel a part of Roman life yet it’s close to shops and the tram line which takes you to Trastevere train station (2 stops) which takes you to the airport or into Termini. That same tram line takes you directly to the Altare della Patria and the start of Via Del Corso which will lead you to the Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo and other great attractions. Its super quite at night so you’ll have an excellent night’s sleep when you need to relax from the busy Rome streets and just around the corner is a lovely local bar for the morning café e cornetto!

Cristina’s apartment is spacious, clean and secure and I highly recommend it for a stay. I also look forward to staying in contact with her for the future and grateful for allowing me to stay in her home.
