Marta and the apartment are both wonderful. I stayed there with my husband and daughters (12 and 14) for 5 nights for our first to Rome. We were very comfortable, with two bathrooms, and nice space. The apartment is close to a subway station, comfortable walking distance to the Spanish Steps, north, and (for a longer walk) to the Colosseum, south. It is surrounded by restaurants, some fabulous (we liked Piccolo Buco very much). There is a stand with great produce about 50 paces out the door to the right, and a corner grocery (Despar) about twice that far to the left, so you have everything you need close by. The apartment is also wonderfully quiet and private, with access from a gated courtyard, so being on the first floor was a benefit, not a problem. Marta has it well stocked with whatever you may need, including service for about 20 people. And the wifi was very reliable.

Marta is also a treasure. When the airline lost our baggage, she arranged to have the bags delivered to her office (and even her home when they brought a bag late) and took them to the apartment for us, so we didn't have to hang around waiting for the delivery. She also took charge of calling the airline and succeeded in getting our bags after I'd been unsuccessful at getting their attention for 3 days. My sister, who stayed in a nearby apartment and also lost 2 bags in transit, didn't get any help from her host, and had to spend a morning going back to Fiuminico to get one of her bags. (British Airways also didn't offer to deliver it!)

We loved Casa Trevi Garden No. 1 and would be happy to stay there again.
