We were greeted by Bernardo, as Valentina & David were out of town. He was very welcoming & gave a thorough walk-through of the apt. Everything in the apt was well organized & demonstrated a lot of forethought from Val & David (ie. gift basket, instructions for AC, maps & recommendations). The neighborhood was ethnic, with a gritty vibe, but we ran into no problems. We especially enjoyed the ability to buy inexpensive & delicious foods from the market & cook ourselves a nice meal after a long day of trekking around Rome. All in all a great time! Thanks again!
