We greatly enjoyed our visit to Rome and staying at Emi's apartment. Reasons I would recommend others to stay here:

- Emi's welcome was wonderfully warm and her introduction to the apartment very helpful.

- The apartment block was old and full of character and the flat was clean and comfortable - an excellent base for a visit to Rome.

- The cost was massively cheaper than staying in a hotel.

- The location was very central and a short walk from all the major tourist attractions in the 'Centro Storico'.

- The well equipped kitchen meant we could cook breakfast, make packed lunches, picnics and even cook dinner on some evenings. There are plenty of supermarkets nearby, including Coop, Pam Local and Carrefour Express.

- The area was quiet and we were not disturbed despite being in the heart of the Ghetto.

- Having Wifi was so helpful and meant we could look up information easily, book advance tickets and keep in touch with Emi.

- Emi was very helpful and provided advice and information, responding to emails and messages very quickly.

- She also had good recommendations for eating out, afternoon tea, etc.

If you are looking for a self-catering apartment, with all the convenience of being at home in a central Rome location, then this is the place to book. Excellent value at GBP 110 per night, including all the Airbnb costs.
