Nicola’s place was an absolute oasis in a beautiful local neighbourhood of Rome. The bed was incredibly comfortable and laying there with the huge windows open while the breeze came in was such a relaxing experience! Nicola’s responses were almost instant whenever we had a question or just wanted a dinner recommendation! The location is absolutely idyllic and we didn’t see a tourist at all, just real Romans going about their daily life, which was beautiful to watch. However if you want to get to the main sights of Rome, the metro is just around the corner. We went into the touristy area one day and decided we wouldn’t go again, because we felt so much happier in Nicola’s beautiful neighbourhood (not to mention the prices and food were far better there). A couple of tips - there is a washing machine behind the green door on the balcony in case you don’t see it, and a surprisingly powerful hairdryer in the box on the clothes rack. Grazie Nicola, we will be back!
