Chiara was a delightful, beautiful hostess. She was prompt with her responses and her description of her home was accurate. The apartment has many many steps to get to it but so worth it! The rooftop terrace was amazing and the view so incredible. The apartment itself was very nice & the full kitchen useful. The morning coffee made in the Moka pot provided along with adorable espresso cups made each morning special-especially up on the rooftop patio. The layout was very convenient & spacious for the 5 of us. So nice to come home to after a full day/night of walking & sightseeing!
If you are able, please take advantage of Chiara cooking you an authentic Italian dinner. She is an excellent cook, a sweet hostess and gracious in giving many excellent suggestions for restaurants, cafés, gelato & sights in Rome. The home cooked was a highlight for our whole trip.
There are many great cafés/restaurants close to the flat as well as the location is close to the tram for easy access to the whole city.
We loved Rome and loved Chiara’s home & hospitality-you won’t go wrong staying here.
A tip about getting to her apartment-You can buy tram tickets at the Tobacco/news stand across the street from the train station. The #8 stop is just down the street a half a block. Take the one with end stop of Venezia. Get off at Belli stop. Helpful to use Google Maps while riding the tram since the names of stops are not on the tram and very small on the street. Use Google maps to get her exact Building/address.
