Wow! This is the perfect place to stay in Rome. It is a very short walk from the Colisseum and Forum and also an easy walk to all the other obvious sites you'll want to visit when in Rome, eg Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Pantheon etc.
The apartment is on first floor and Silvia was very welcomnig, waiting there for us to arrive. She was very generous and stocked the kitchen with all necessary items as well as breakfast for us. The bathroom was also stocked with toiletries so our stay was very pleasant.
With 5 of us travelling, it was really useful to have the washing machine to use, and central heating made sure everything dried quickly.
We had arrived in Rome by rental car, so because of the traffic and parking situation decided to leave it at Ciampino airport. Unfortunately our party of 5 needed 2 taxis to town and the drivers were totlly dishonest. Although all signs say it is Euro30 from airport to anywhere within city walls, the drivers chatted together and decided to charge both parties Euro45. There was little we could do but it started our stay off on a sour note. I understand this is not uncommon so I'd like to warn other visitors about it.
Apart from that we loved exploring Rome and staying in the apartment and had a really great time. Thanks Silvia.
