Really happy to offer a "5 star" review for Mimma & Claudia's Domus Lunae.

The ladies were out of town on business so we were met at the apartment by one of their friends who showed us around. The apartment was spotlessly clean and is actually more spacious than the photos suggest. Some nice contemporary design touches too and it was great, when arriving late, to find some croissants, a fruit bowl and a coffee maker saving us hunting around for our first breakfast (enjoyed on the terrace).

In terms of location, we were within walking distance of most of the major "sights" - but the Ottaviano metro station is literally round the corner - which was handy for return trips after a long days exploration - or for access to some of the more distant spots we wanted to visit.

If you're a foodie, you will be spoilt for choice withs many great restaurants on your doorstep. It became a kind of a joke as we checked recommended eateries in the "Where To Eat Section" of the Rough Guide to find they too, were round the corner. Try Romeo Chef and Baker - if you like modern, hip and tasty, tasty or Il Sorpasso on Via Properzio.

There's a handy little market just round the corner - Sicilian pomegranates, porcini - wine at the "right" price - va bene!

My only regret is not being able to say "ciao" to Mimmi and Claudia personally - we had a little mini crisis on checking out - we closed the door of the flat leaving one of our kid's cases inside. They were so helpful in arranging for another taxi to shuttle it to the airport.

I look forward to returning to Domus Lunae / Roma and wouldn't bother to check out any other alternatives - and that's not often I'd say that!
