We loved Ascanio’s place! His father, Alessandro, checked us in and he was absolutely lovely. He spent a good amount of time showing us the map of Rome and gave us a lot of pointers on how to travel around and what to see. He even gave us some history of the landmarks, which we found very useful and interesting (especially when visiting Piazza Navona). Alessandro responded immediately to any inquiries we had. The apartment was clean and peaceful. We also felt very safe, as there are three locked doors you have to get through to get to the apartment. It is a five minute walk from the Roma Termini (where you can catch taxis, buses, trains, and the subway). We are walkers and opted to walk everywhere from the apartment. It was a 20 minute walk to the Colosseum and the Roman forum, 25 minute walk to Trevi fountain, 30 minute walk to Spanish steps, 35 minute walk to the pantheon, 40 minute walk to Piazza Navona, and it was about an hour walk to Vatican City. Everything was very close but far enough away to have some quiet in the evening. The apartment has air conditioning—which was so helpful in this crazy June heat!! There is also an elevator, which is helpful for getting your belongings upstairs! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Ascanio and Alessandro!
