I can't say enough good things about both the apartment and Lina! We were a group of 4, 1 who arrived earlier in the day and 3 of us who arrived late at night. The early one was allowed to leave his bags at the apartment as soon as the previous occupant had checked out. Lina picked up the rest of us from a late night arrival at the airport. She took the time to show us the apartment, give us local recommendations and even call a nearby restaurant to make sure they were open at that late hour and could accomodate us for dinner.
The area was great for getting around Rome. We walked everywhere, from the vatican which was about 20 min away to other sights that were 45 min to an hour walk, which felt like minutes with there being so much beauty to see everywhere. We started each morning with espresso's at the cafe downtstairs and ended each night with cocktails at Banana Republic bar, which is around the corner.
As for the apartment itself, it was absolutely perfect! Large and perfect for our group of 4. The lift was much appreciated as not all buildings have one available. It was exactly as pictured, bigger than we anticipated. The bathrooms and home had heating and the beds were very comfortable. We fell in love with Rome and hope to return soon. When we do, we won't stay at any other place as Lina's apartment was loved by all of our group.
Lina - again, THANK YOU!!!!
