Back from Rome and had a great stay at Mariannas flat !

Marianna met up with us on our arrival and was very friendly - she randomly asked how we were doing during the stay which is a nice touch.

There is only one downside to the flat, which is the noise at night as there is quite some traffic on the main road. It was OK for us because we were KO after running up and down Rome from morning to night; but might be an issue for the travelers who are expecting a nice relaxing sleep.

Now the numerous perks. The place was clean, sunny with a nice bathroom (and 2 toilets - we were 3 people so comes in handy).The flat and the deco is lovely; it is merely a 10-15 minutes’ walk away from the Vatican museum, 5 minutes walk from the Cipro metro and bus stops from which you can basically go anywhere in Rome. The walk to the old town is about 45 minutes and is very pleasant.

There is a supermarket a couple minutes away from the flat, a little bakery next to it, cafés and delicious restaurants nearby. Last but not least, a gelato shop just beneath one of the stairs leading to the Vatican museum (apx 5-10 minutes’ walk from the flat). We chanced upon a farmers market in front of the church next to the Cipro market the Sunday we were there (they come by cycle and not every week).
