Staying in Rome, we wanted to experience a city that was a bit off of the beaten path but still had access to public transportation and many other amenities that would make the vacation a bit more enjoyable.
This location is perfect and close to so many things we wanted to have access to.
Public transportation, stores and shops, cafes, restaurants.
The subway was a short walk away but we enjoyed walking to different locations without even bothering with a bus etc.
The apartment is in a safe building and a safe neighborhood and we felt very comfortable and “at home”.
The apartment itself was beautiful! Exactly what we expected, the pictures are true! Clean, well laid out. The bed was comfortable, the kitchenette has everything you could possibly need, the shower was great. We were offered fresh towels and had the added perk of an emergency laundry pick up and Paola returned same day with our cleaned clothes. A very unexpected courtesy we appreciated. Because of this we were able to maximize our time in the city without being stuck in the laundry mat.
The sheets and towels were of good quality, the espresso machine in room was perfect and there was a little shop on the corner that sold several varieties of coffee and coffee pods etc to keep us going!
We wish we had taken advantage of the kitchen more-perhaps cooked a meal in and made use of the dining table or patio for supper. But the great restaurants in the area filled us up- plus the daily delivery of fresh pastry’s in the morning before we even woke up was wonderful!
The personal experience with Paola and Massimo was beyond hospitality. They really go out of their way to make you feel like family and are very invested in helping you to have a nice trip- more than nice. They understand the desire to see the big attractions that such a historically important city has to offer with the added bonus to helping you to see some of the lesser known hidden gems that are tucked away in the city.
They were easily reached for anything at the apartment (towels, toilet paper, etc) as well as checking in to see how our day went or if we had any questions. Paola did a wonderful job helping with dinner reservations and suggestions for restaurants and such. Also directions, which was a huge help.
There is literally nothing we would have changed about the location, the apartment, Paola, Massimo and family- everything was wonderful- because of them our trip was even better than planned, more well rounded and comfortable. We can’t wait to go back, and to be able to refer friend and families to this great location.
Thank you thank you!!
