Three of us stayed in this lovely place last week (15-9-13). It was everything Diletta said it was and more. Set in a quiet area, amazingly only a 5 minute walk from the Circus Maximus, we couldn't believe our luck. This is a beautifully decorated little cottage (we would call it a 'granny flat') with it's own little patio. Ideally made for 1 or 2 people, the couch can turn into a single bed which my son said was very comfy. The double bed was very comfy too. The little kitchen/dining/sitting room area is perfect for relaxing after walking around Bella Roma. Diletta was absolutely delightful, there when we needed her (a super help) and otherwise leaving us to ourselves (I met her mum too, and she was lovely). This place is perfectly situated- a two minute walk from the tram and busses to all the attractions (though we thought it close enough to walk everywhere (15 mins. to the Forum etc.) and the furthest sight we visited was the Vatican, which took about 35 minutes along the Tiber - no hardship as we ambled in the sun -
Diletta was most helpful when we arrived in Rome and was standing out on the street waiting to direct us in when we arrived. We got a taxi (make sure you get an authorised one - (with a taxi plate on the roof, as the others will fleece you - should cost no more than €20 on a Sunday and less on a weekday)
Diletta - thank you so much for making me want to stay longer, and deciding that I'll definitely be back and when I return, your beautiful home will be what i will be hoping to get for my stay. By the way, my boys thought you were 'soooo cool' : )
