We had a fabulous stay at Rudi’s place. We had a family of 5 staying there, my wife and I and our 3 adult daughters. The location was perfect for our first time ever in Rome. We felt like we were staying in a location with local residents but within walking distance to many of the tourist sites we wanted to visit. Rudy gave us recommendations of best restaurant, pizza place and coffee shop and every one we tried was fabulous. The gelateria on the corner next to the apartments entrance was also fabulous. We were able to walk to sites like the Colisseum, the Forum, Trevi fountain-all within .5 mile or so. There was a local market just a few doors down from the entrance to the apartment that allowed us to get some breakfast and snack items. We took the subway to our Vatican museum tour. The entrance to the subway (Cavour stop) was less than a quarter mile from the apartment. Rudi set up transportation for us from the airport and it was so nice to arrive and have a driver with our name waiting for us to take us to the apartment as we were there for the first time and unfamiliar with everything. Rudi was there to meet us upon our arrival and help with luggage up the stairs. There are definitely a lot of stairs-as the apartment is on the top level-about 4-floors. There is also a shared rooftop deck that was great to relax on just one floor above the apartment.
