We had a fantastic stay at the apartment. Barbara was a fantastic host, allowing us to drop our suitcases off early. We then decided that whilst the apartment was being cleaned, we would have lunch next door at, Fiaschetteria Marini. This was where Barbara spotted us when she arrived. She ensured everything was good with the apartment and then went in to the restaurant, making the staff aware we were staying in her apartment. This resulted in a little discount at the end. This restaurant really was a fantastic place. Not only convenient, but excellent food and service. Perfect after a long day exploring Rome.
The apartment itself has everything you could need. One night we decided to have dinner in. This was no issue with all the cooking equipment we needed there. The only area I felt could improve the experience, would be to add a hand rail to help getting up and down the stairs. Other than that, it was perfect.
The apartment was also well located. It’s out of the way, making it a quieter location. This was definitely a plus for us. It’s also about 35minutes walk from the colosseum which again we were happy with as we like walking. If that isn’t for you, there are plenty of busses nearby to get you around the city.
Overall this was a great experience and should we return to Rome we would definitely see about staying in Barbara’s apartment again. Thank you!
