This loft is so spacious and was great for our family of 5. It was a little farther than we expected from the Termini train station so we took a taxi. Desiree was kind to store our luggage when we arrived several hours before check in time. The location is not very close to the old attractions of Rome but public transportation is easy to get to. The Reti tram stop is only two blocks away and we took the # 3 to the Colosseum and the #19 to the Vatican. Also Tiburtina street is very close and you can take the #71 bus to the Trevi fountain and other things to see. Very convenient although the buses were often unbearably overcrowded! Desiree was very quick to respond to questions prior to our arrival, and answered my questions about nearby restaurants and transportation. We went to several of the restaurants Desiree recommended (Soul Kitchen, Formula 1 Pizza) and they were very good. She also very kindly arranged for a van to take us to the airport on the last day -- that was a huge help! There is a grocery store only a few blocks away. The apartment had plenty of beds, linens and towels for our family. The only downside was it was lacking a few small things, like paper towels or napkins, and soap for the shower. Also the wifi was very slow and unreliable. But overall this was a great place to stay for our visit to Rome!
