We enjoyed staying at Federica’s A Place Apart in May 2015 for five days. The rooms in the apartment are bigger than they appear in the pictures, especially the bedroom. Because it was unusually warm the high ceilings and the balcony with a small table and chairs suited us well. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed to cook meals most nights – fridge, cooker, double sink and all the pots, pans and crockery we needed. The furniture is modern and comfortable with all the equipment you might need; we particularly appreciated the new washing machine, drying rack and iron. The building was clean and generally very quiet despite looking onto a courtyard along with many others. The neighbourhood was pleasant with supermarkets, a delicatessen, fruit and vegetable shop and an excellent ‘gelateria’ within a few minutes walk. It is not a tourist area but there are restaurants nearby and we enjoyed the Italian food and style of Le Vele about fifteen minutes walk away on the Piazza Pio XI. The area and the buildings are modern with little greenery or interest so we got to know the buses that go down the major route, Via Gregorio VII into Rome centre, very well. You will need to use buses or taxis to get anywhere, other than local shops and restaurants and this can be frustrating, especially on a Sunday – but the apartment is great and Federica was a warm, friendly, accessible and very helpful hostess.
