I’m afraid I’m going to run out of adjectives to properly describe the kindness, hospitality, and warmth Fabrizio and Roberto extended to my boyfriend and myself during our stay in their home but I’ll do my best!
Take note that without the terrace, the apartment is quite small, however, what little space is used quite creatively and stylishly. Appliances, amenities, and fixtures are new, the bed quite comfortable, and the radio in the shower is a source of entertainment. The terrace and the backyard are like an oasis, in fact, the apartment itself, being on the third floor-ish, makes one feel like they’re in a world of their own, away from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Take note: there are two flights of stairs as well as circular (trinity) staircases involved, an FYI, for those with big suitcases. However, Fabrizio was kind enough to insist on taking our luggages up, but I made my poor, long suffering BF help.
Now let’s talk about Fabrizio and Roberto, both of whom totally made our stay amazing. We had a medical emergency involving a child earlier in the day and so we changed our arrival time about 3-4 times but both Roberto and Fabrizio were more than accommodating. It was Fabrizio who welcomed us, giving us a tour of the apartment and laying out a map with all the sights to see. He also recommended a cafe for us to visit, and when we did we ran into both Fabrizio and Roberto. They bought our sandwiches and drinks before shooing us off to explore the church across the street where (holy) relics are kept. It was our favorite church. The following morning, Fabrizio was kind enough to give us a lift to Termini at 830AM to save us the trouble of jumping on the metro or paying €11 for a cab.
Thank you guys so much and we look forward to coming back and staying with you once more, grazie mille!
