Lovely centrally located apartment that works for a family of 4 with above and beyond hosts.
As others have noted, the apartment is incredibly located for those who love a lively street scene right outside your door and enjoy strolling at night. We walked everywhere from here - designer shopping and glamour at the Spanish steps , an awesome cooking class at piazza navona ( In Rome Cooking pizza and gelato - highly recommend!) , amazing churches nearby that mesmerized us with their trompe l’oeil ceilings ( St Augustine) and easy subway access to get to the Colosseum Vatican and the main train station to go to Amalfi for the day.
The apartment is well laid out and the hosts left drinks in the fridge and espresso capsules . We were also excited about doing our laundry after 4 sweltering days in Rome and they provided detergent and all instructions.
We enjoyed the terrace late night one day and that was a nice touch. Way too hot during the day to use it !
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with shingles a day after we landed and Rafaella was able to secure a doctor appointment for me right away . In addition, she followed up regularly and helped with the medication translations and other things in followup.
They also made checkin and check out super easy ! Very nice hosts … lovely centrally located apartment.
We travelled with a 14 and 11 yo.
Only small things to know is that the entrance way and stairwell are not nearly as nice as the apartment - Peeling wallpaper, stains on tiny elevator walls , hallways kind of dark and a little spooky for the kids - so just know it gets better when you arrive! This is typical in Europe a lot of times but our American kids aren’t used to it!
Also the second bedroom is a loft - not really private sound wise if you have light sleepers and much harder to cool down. The hosts provided a mobile wifi which is an awesome idea - it never worked for us unfortunately but is a very thoughtful thing to do!
They are great and the apartment is lovely for exploring this amazing city!
Get the shingles vaccine!
