This apartment was a find. Rome was the last destination of our one-month long vacation that started out from London in March. The apartment was a blessing after having traveled in 6 countries and visited 11 major cities. It was like hard labor rather than a vacation. This apartment is a special place where you look forward to relax, in your total privacy, after a long day of seeing art, ruins and museums. Claudio and Carla did an exceptional job of making the place so beautiful and attractive. My husband, Henry, said, "I can live here for months!"
It's centrally located (only 2 min. walk to Termini Station, subways and bus terminal), so you can get to tourist destinations quickly and beat the lines. On the day of check-out, it was very convenient for us to catch the 5:35 a.m. Leonardo Express to the airport at the Termini.
It had a full kitchen that was well-equipped with lots of extras (convection oven, dishwasher and automatic espresso machine were particularly helpful). I love cooking, and it was like a dream that we could make our own meals with local fresh produce and meats (grocery stores are nearby). Food tastes so much better in Italy. Also, the apartment had a wonderful washing machine--amazingly compact, quiet and highly efficient. We were equally impressed by the well-engineered laundry rack!
From the beginning to the end, along with very warm and kind welcome, everything was done professionally. Prior to our arrival, Claudio and Carla gave us a series of very articulate instructions. The apartment is clean, well-maintained and in very good taste. There are also extra efforts in the apartment we noticed; for example, the simplified instruction sheets for various equipment in many different languages. What we realized about Carla and Claudio is that they run the place not like another home-owner but like business owners. Their constant efforts, seriousness and sensibility were palpable in the place. We spent five nights there and had a very memorable, quality time in Rome. Thank you.
