What a find! The best of both worlds; a beautiful, modern, elegant apartment in a residential area but within walking distance from all the main sights. Our biggest thrill was walking past the Colosseum daily while exploring the wonderful history of Rome....about a 10 min walk! The Metro is also a few mins walk away and Termini the main train station is a brisk walk or 2 stops on the Metro! We walked to most places except when we caught the train from Termini to Pompeii (1h10min on Italo fast train); the best way to see Rome! Everything's accessible from the apartment and security is excellent.
Another benefit is the many local restaurants all around the apartment; much more reasonable so you're not paying the tourist excess and you get to eat with the locals! When in Rome......!
The best part of our stay was the amazing hospitality from Marco and his son Fabrizio. They went out of their way to make us comfortable, give us as much information as possible and supplied us with all the little extras that make your arrival easier. A generous assortment of beverages; different teas, coffee pods, toiletries etc.
We arrived on Christmas Day but despite the poor timing, we were met with warmth, graciousness, a delicious Christmas Panetone and a bottle of Prosecco! Marco also booked a private transfer to and from the airport for us. One less thing to arrange!
It beats a hotel hands down! Two great sized bedrooms with double beds, 2 full bathrooms, one ensuite and a separate lounge/kitchen. It felt like home from home. For our family of four (including 2 big teenagers!) we had more than enough space for our week in Rome. You will be lucky if you get to stay in this lovely apartment. Check the photos and see for yourself!
Thank you for everything Marco, we were overwhelmed by your kindness and you made our stay a special one.
