Our host, Eleanora, met us on the street when we arrived and helped us into the apartment – leaving a lovely bottle of wine on the balcony to enjoy after our check-in.

Eleanora thoroughly showed us through the apartment, maps and her tipsheets for the area – leaving helpful print-outs for guests. She is a very helpful and generous host, and I am sure very happy to help with any enquiries and assistance. We are fairly independent travellers, so didn't need to ask for much but we did appreciate the local knowledge she shared with us, her efforts to ensure we had a good stay, and her tips for good restaurants in the neighbourhood. She's on her way to super host, for sure!

As the photos show, it's a beautiful place – it would make a great honeymoon stay. The apartment is in a nice neighbourhood just minutes from Castel Sant'Angelo. We stayed with two young children (five-year old twins) and they enjoyed sleeping on the very comfortable sofa-bed in the living room.

We enjoy walking around cities when possible, and were able to walk to most of the major sites from this apartment (with the kids in strollers), as well as having access to good public transport nearby when needed.

Thanks Eleanora, it was nice meeting you, we had a blast in Rome and I would certainly recommend your apartment.
