Staying here was the highlight of our trip. We felt immediately like we were visiting the home of a good friend. The apartment is decorated with beautiful and interesting things, and has a wonderful, cozy feeling that is hard to explain or see from the pictures. The guestroom was very clean with a large, comfortable bed, and you can see the dome of St. Peter's from the window. You can also go to the roof for an even better view over the rooftops. Cristina provided breakfast items including fresh fruit and coffee, and kindly left them out so we could help ourselves in the morning. We found the location of the apartment ideal, too -- you can walk to many things, but there is also bus stop close by and a metro stop just a little bit further. But the best thing about this place is Cristina herself. We met her boyfriend too, and between the two of them we haven't laughed so much in a long time! But if you are a shy or quiet person, don't worry. She is so thoughtful and considerate, you will feel at home too. We want to go back to Rome to see our new friends! One note: The building has no elevator and you must climb four or five flights of stairs to reach her apartment. It was no problem for us, but perhaps important to note for others.
