Viviana was a wonderful host. She had quick responses and helpful at every request. She also helped us with transportation to and from the airport which made the stay stress free. Her home is amazing. When I say amazing it's amazing. The kitchen was very functional, and we had so much fun enjoying our breakfast around the table planning out our day of activities. We especially enjoyed the balcony in the evenings as we replayed our day. You can hear music and activities going on below which enhanced our Roma experience.
If you are wanting to see Rome quickly and feel like a local this is your spot. You are living right in the heart of the city 5 min to Fontana di Trevi one way and 5 min to the Pantheon another way. You walk outside your door and 50 steps away is the best coffee & pastries at Gran Caffe La Caffeteria or a melting chocolate wall (literally) in a crepe and gelato shop Venchi 1878.
Also, what helped us navigate the city very quickly was the gentleman that checked us in. He was very knowledgeable on what to do and not to do. He also gave us these paper maps with landmarks and we pretty much followed his plan. He told us how to avoid the tourists (July is high tourist season) and get the best of Roma local style, lower cost and higher quality. We were a group of 5 and we all had the same experience and if given the choice would choose this location 10 of 10 times.
Thank you, Viviana!!
