This is a wonderful base in order to discover Rome. It is near to Termini station - the station one arrives to/from the airport and the hub for many other destinations in Italy - but away from Termini's noise. The flat is located in a very central location, with the tube stop only one block away, and several bus lines stops nearby. Federica's place is spotless and interesting, and you can see the culture on display in the apartment, and which provides a wonderful starting point for trips to discover the culture in Rome. The flat is furnished with great taste and has much character, with its very high ceilings, antique pieces of furniture, books and art on display. The view from the living room is great, a window out on the lives of locals. Initially I was given a smaller room with a mezzanine, perfect and cosy for one person, and the en suite shower is a wonderful, wonderful plus. When my partner joined me for the second part of my trip, we moved to a second bedroom - also very nice and comfortable – and with a bigger bed. It is very quiet here, the apartment being in one of those grand 19th-Century Roman buildings with the central open space running the entire height and served by an elevator. Federica is a wonderful host, ready to go the extra mile to make one feel at home and trying to help guests find those interesting sites, events, locations, etc., that really helped our visit come alive. She is a journalist on cultural affairs so has really good knowledge of what the city has to offer. In the evenings, we often wondered around the hood trying the restaurants suggested by Federica on a sheet placed in the room, which had suggestions for us (try the Club Macchiavelli, a real hidden, cosy gem with delightful local food), and she was so helpful and willing to suggest places for us to go once she understood our cultural interests. A great place to stay.
