Christopher’s place was a great home base in Rome. The Colosseum was just down the street and cafes/grocery stores/bars/other necessities were just steps away. Christopher’s friend Oxana was there to greet/check us in and gave us great information. They were so patient and understanding while we were late for our check-in, due to my boyfriend and I first time in Italy and not understanding the transit system or even how to buy tickets lol. After being lost and miscommunication with some locals, we were greeted with good hospitality and a bottle of prosecco. The apartment has everything you need and the air conditioner keeps the place very cool. The apartment’s location doesn’t get a lot of sun during the day, so after you turn off the air conditioner the place will stay on the cool side. The bathroom is perfect size for one person using the sink and 1 person in the shower. The shower is smaller than “normal US” showers, but I’m 5’1 so it was good for me. *Keep in mind that most places in Italy have a smaller water heater tank, so if you’re used to long hot showers- be prepared to wait 30 minutes for more hot water or just learn to take quicker showers :) I would definitely recommend this apartment when in Rome, it’s close to where you want to be, but far enough away from the crazy crowds.
