My daughter (18) and I visited Rome for the first time for a 4 night break after she had completed her A level exams. We were thrilled to find an apartment with a terrace in central Rome for such an excellent price. What a gem!
Perfect for two people (sharing a super-comfortable double bed), Andreas’ apartment is in a wonderful location and many highlights of Rome are just a short walk away: Trevi fountain 10 mins; Colosseum 35 mins; Spanish Steps 10 mins. An added bonus is the restaurant just two doors away ( the only one in this very quiet street) which turned out to be the best we visited during our stay. Very popular with locals and people who know the city.
Despite being located between two main shopping streets, sitting out on the terrace at the back of the apartment was totally peaceful and relaxing. The view of the back of other buildings was fascinating with terrace gardens, balconies and different roof tops. The only noise was the occasional child chattering which made you appreciate the special location all the more.
Although not lavish in its decor the apartment is exactly right as a base for a city break. The little kitchen is spotlessly clean and has an electric hob, fridge and microwave. There are a couple of nearby supermarkets and we bought beautiful salad, cheeses, ham and eggs for the same prices we would pay at home.
The shower room is small but well designed - everything works perfectly.
Access to the apartment is by steps or very small lift.
Andreas was very helpful at all stages of booking and reservation and gave excellent local travel advice ahead of our journey and on the day we arrived he helped us navigate the public transport by text and phone. Much appreciated! He also arranged for us to have a private taxi to the airport on our departure for just 55€. At 8.00am that was a real bonus - no lugging luggage on public transport in the rush hour. Thank you AirB&B and Andreas. Excellent service as usual!!!
