Without a doubt, Federica's "Terrazza" is a beautiful haven and home base for a visit to Rome. I stayed with my mother in this apartment for 10 days and it made our vacation truly spectacular.

Communication with our hosts Fausto and Federica was seamless and expedient. They gave us multiple options and detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment. Fausto met us in a very timely manner to greet us there with the keys and show us around the apartment where we were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the dining table. Fausto also kindly arranged for a car to take us to the airport at the end of our vacation.

The pictures of the apartment are entirely accurate and if anything do not do the space justice...it is truly spacious! Another pleasant surprise was the recent addition of air conditioning units in each of the two sleeping areas! The apartment has all the amenities you could possibly need. It is clean, tidy, warm and welcoming. The terrace itself is a wonderfully quiet and comfortable place to relax and unwind after a busy day or evening in the city.

Previous comments about the noisy nightlife are valid, but you're in Rome and on vacation! If you're not exhausted from a day of exploring this wonderful city and not asleep within minutes, you're doing something wrong (earplugs cost less than 2 euros at the nearby Pharmacy). The windows are solid and keep out the majority of the frivolity outside, and the additional "curtains' add yet another barrier, if required.

I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to live off the typical tourist avenues, and experience a unique and lively neighbourhood with lots of great restaurants, amenities and vibrant street life. I've lived in Rome before and I can't say enough about how wonderful this apartment and neighbourhood is. It's a short walk across the Tiber to all the major sites and venues, there are open air markets nearby, as well as supermarkets and "convenince" stores at your doorsteps.

Federica and Fausto and wonderful and warm individuals that made our stay extraordinary. When I come back to Rome, I will make every effort to stay in this apartment again.

Thank you, again Federica and Fausto!
