The stay at Susanna & Simone's "Casa Linda" exceeded all our expectations. The thoughtfulness of the hosts already shone through before our arrival by asking us how we (a group of 7) preferred to have the beds arranged in the various rooms. Knowing we'd be arriving earlier than the regular check-in time, Simone helped the cleaning lady getting our rooms ready faster and went out of his way to show us things on the map and give us some great tips for lunch in the meanwhile. When you are staying in a place with 7 people, you need some space, and you definitely need 2 bathrooms. Susanna and Simone's apartment is spacious, super clean, comfortable and, last but not least, a true home away from home. Fragrance sticks, lovely furniture, a library filled with books, the little food basket and bottle of wine welcoming us in the kitchen - it's these personal touches that make a difference to your stay. Oh and that lovely balcony..ideal for breakfast!
Although the flat is just around the corner of a busy street with the metro station only 5 min (on foot!) away, we were surprised how quiet it was at night and we slept absolutely fine. The location is ideal for anyone eager to explore Rome and is literally two stops away from Ottaviano (Vatican). There is a supermarket, a greengrocer's, gelateria and a variety of other shops a stone's throw away. All super convenient.
On behalf of all seven of us, thanks Simone and Susanna for making our stay in gorgeous Rome simply wonderful. Whether it was arranging a minivan for us or coming over on Sunday morning to bring us a large 'padella' so we could cook a spaghetti Bolognese for 7, they tirelessly and kindly provided. Lovely hosts, lovely apartment, great location - this one has it all and we wholeheartedly recommend!
Simone & Susanna, grazie ancora, è stato un soggiorno veramente piacevole da voi!
