Roma!
My birthplace of a few decades ago!
I always wanted to show MY Roma to my young daughters from its heart, and we were happy to have found this small apartment to start our (albeit short!) exploration of this great city!
I cannot describe the expression of joy and surprise they had on their faces when our host opened the door to this small jewel, cozy and inviting, slightly bohemian in its fitout and located in an old building, where one feels to be part of the intimate life of this great city.
The apartment itself is small, but complete: after all we were there to comfortably rest at night, not to live all our life there. When you are in Rome, you have no time to waste staying inside with such a spectacular city screaming to get you outside!
All we needed was provided and the spaces are cleverly used, from the kitchenette to the very comfortable bunk beds, from the compact, a little old fashioned, bathroom to the HUGE wardrobe/cupboard.
Warm (we were there in winter), clean, without being overwhelmingly sparkling, enough to feel at home with all the facilities one needs to prepare a cup of tea or coffee or a quick meal, if needed.
All what was promised in the description was there, including crockery, cutlery, cups and a large supply of towels.
Communication with our host was flawless.
The location is simply fabulous, close to everything, so much so that we didn't use at all the tickets purchased for the public transport.
Trastevere is truly the heart of Rome, where you discover small corners of beauty and charm, where the eternal city, which impresses with its monumental majesty, becomes humble, intimate and capable to whisper love words to the hearths of those who are still able to see the beauty and to smell the scent of the eternal spring wafting in the air, particularly at night, when the city becomes magical!
My Rome is all this and much more, and this apartment, nestled in its heart, has been the perfect place to feel it.
I highly recommend it to all who are willing to forget big, anonymous hotels and want to become part of THIS Rome.
