Marianna's apartment was perfect and was exactly how it was presented in the photos. The check in progress was smooth and somebody met us at the flat to give us the keys and explain everything.
The terrace is simply fabulous with a lovely, sunny view - it was definitely the highlight of the apartment. You can enjoy a nice bottle of prosecco and some light snacks before heading out to explore. The streets surrounding the apartment are pretty quite but the area is excellent (5 mins walk to Trastevere) - very young and trendy with lots of restaurants and bars. We spent most of our evenings in this area and it had everything we could have asked for. Marianna also provides a good list of restaurants and bars to go to and I highly recommend trying a few of her suggestions. The one's that we tried were all very good and provided us with a true Roman experience on the terraces of the city's cobbled streets.
All the tourist sights are a just a short walk away (ranging from 10 mins to 40 mins, depending on where you are going). There is also public transportation, but to be honest, Rome should be explored on foot in order to experience all the hidden gems the city has to offer, so I would recommend heading down different streets every day on the way to your destination.
The apartment itself was one of the best I've ever stayed in and Marianna was very kind and accommodating. She arranged a late check in for us as our plane got in late and when our return flight was cancelled on the Sunday, she happily arrange for us to stay an extra night at her place. All in all, if you are coming to enjoy Rome for a few days, stay at Marianna's place - you simply won't regret the experience and it will make your time in Rome so much more memorable. Thank you Marianna!! We hope to be back soon!!
