This condo has amazing view of St. Peter's Basilica (The Vatican). There is a very convenient metro (Line A) located within a 5 minute walk. There are restaurants, bars, grocery stores all surrounding the area.
Gabriele was flexible to meet us as we changed arrival times (too many things to see on the way), and even allowed us to use a special permit that we used on the street to park. (We did go around and around for about 20 minutes looking forward parking as the parking garage was closed on a Sunday.)
The 2 bedroom unit was very clean. One comment-2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 people for 3.5 days just isn't enough. We went out and purchased some more, though. And one bath towel per person with wash cloth and hand towel. I have hair to my waist, and when asking for another towel for my hair, Gabriele accommodated (grazie!)
On the smaller of the bedrooms, the walls with the unit above were not very sound proof. The lady upstairs seemed to walk back and forth in high heels until the wee hours of the morning, and I could hear each and every conversation. She seemed to quiet down around 1 in the morning, but still, it was a bit uncomfortable. The bed is very soft in the smaller of the bedroom as well, and I think a rotation would be a good thing of the mattress.
Gabriele was extremely kind and helpful and gave a few recommendations. There are not alot of recommendations or pamphlets available to travelers-I plan out things myself well in advance, but that is always a nice touch. It is also good to know (trial by error) that WINTER HOURS for the Colosseum and such (close time at 3:30 pm) start on October 26th. We did not know that until finding out upon arrival at 3:45 to Baths of Caracalla.
There is so much to see...highlights include Piazza Navona, Castel Sant'Angelo (the BEST panoramic view of all of Rome, and a cool tour anyways!), wandering the streets, and so much more.
If you get a chance to get out of Rome, go to Subiaco-and the Monastery of Saint Benedetto...where the Benedictine order started-and the site with extremely old frescos and the monastery carved into the hill. Also, in Tivoli, visit the Villa D'Este. Well worth it and about 40 minutes from Rome.
Overall, it was a nice trip, Gabriele's condo suited us fine for the short time we were there. It was nice to have Netflix and Watch To Rome With Love as well!
Recommended this place. It is a bit expensive for 2 each night, but I guess that is the price one pays!
Great location, nice accommodations, easy access to everything via metro or walking. Thanks, Gabriele!
