Stop looking. This is THE place to stay in Rome! Like a five star hotel, but and apartment. Decorated exquisitely, with loads of built-in shelving and a beautiful kitchen. I felt like a chic artist friend lent me her apartment. This apartment has fully-functioning A/C and a washing
machine. And Erika is the absolute best host - meeting us and seeing us off (to help with our bags), even at a very inconvenient time early Sunday morning!! She was thoughtful in every way - from the fully stocked kitchen with snacks and wine and breakfast foods, to written suggestions for things to do, to being there for us, providing every possible toiletry, she was a true super host. We felt like family.
Beyond this, the apartment is in a fantastic location, very close to the Barberini metro, and a short walk to many of the sites! Tremendous value, convenience and comfort. I will absolutely come back!!!
