We enjoyed our stay at Barbara’s apartment. We had never been to Rome but it felt like it was authentic to what it would be like to live there. The neighborhood was very lively with restaurants and shops and a fun common area with a fountain where people gather. You can see the Colosseum down the street from the fountain. While the streets were full of life, the apartment was pretty quiet inside. It was clean, the bedroom was comfortable and the main bathroom was nice sized while the second one was pretty compact. The living room is nice sized and the tall ceilings make everything feel roomy. The kitchen was very minimal but we always ate out so that wasn’t an issue. It was a good place to come home to after spending the day seeing the sites. It is also close to a metro stop making travel easy. Barbara was also very helpful in arranging transportation to the airport.
