Giulia was a fantastic host from beginning to end. Her communication was always friendly & helpful, and she was quick to respond to any queries.

When we eventually arrived at the apartment (after having been delayed and standing Giulia up - which she was really understanding about), we were met with a smile and a quick efficient check in process.

The apartment itself is lovely; it is light and spacious, with all the amenities you could want (including towels & a hairdryer). The bed was comfy, as was the sofa, and the shower was the best we had during our whole trip!

Yes, the apartment is at the top of approx 75 steps and it can be a little noisy at night, but it is utterly worth it unless you have mobility issues. You are a hop, skip and a jump from stations on both metro lines and one metro stop on the 'A' line from Rome Termini train station so getting around is simple. Then again, the Colosseum is only a brisk 20min walk away, so we'd encourage you to walk.

There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, and Giulia provides her own recommendations, one of which (Il Fico) became our favourite restaurant whilst on holiday.

To summarise, a great apartment in a fantastic, convenient location and with a helpful, friendly host, don't think of staying anywhere else!
