Livia's place is in a perfect location, 5 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, Piazza di Popolo, and her place looks exactly like the pictures. Located in the heart of Rome, it is walking distance to nearly everything: taxi, many shops, cafes, and historical landmarks. She provides all the basic essentials you need, her travel books, maps are helpful, her place is clean and organized and she is responsive by text/email for any questions.
Livia's attentiveness to prepare for our arrival and departure was very professional. We arrived late at night, and her sweet mom let us in and gave us a quick tour, with fairly good English.
A few tips:
1. Ask how to use the main house key (there are 3 doors, 3 keys), it can be tricky if you're not used to this type of door lock.
2. Ask how to use the washer, if you can't read Italian.
3. There will be an extra fee (requested at the begin/end of your stay) for occupancy tax required by their government. I think it's charged per person per night? We paid about 30eu. for 3 guests, 3 nights.
Luckily, we had to be up early every morning; because the place next door was drilling and hammering the walls and is very loud. Hopefully it's a temporary reconstruction, or it would disrupt someone's good sleep.
Overall, Livia & her mom are very kind to be of good service, it's clean, safe environment and it's all about location. We would stay again.
Thank you Livia for sharing your charming apartment.
