When you visit Rome, Federica’s place is the perfect place to stay. We are a family of five and the accommodations were perfect for us. Everything was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was equipped with enough dishes and pots and pans for us to dine at “home”. There was plenty of hot water for everyone to get a shower after a long day of touring the fabulous city of Rome. Federica supplies robes and towels for everyone, which is an unexpected luxury. She also provided cookies, cafe and tea and a bottle of white wine, which also came in handy to prepare my veal dish. As a family of five, every time we go to a restaurant we spend at least 100euros. But there is a supermarket about 4 blocks down on the left with fresh veal scaloppine, chicken, eggs and fresh produce so i was able to cook gourmet meals for our family at a fraction of the price. The Millennium Gelateria and a decent cafe / bar is also to the left a short distance from your front door. If you have time, there is a fabulous bakery to the right about 4 blocks down with several souvenir shops along the way.
Location of the apartment is excellent as the Metro station is diagonally behind the church a block to your left of your front door where you can easily get to the colosseum and The Vatican entrance. I highly recommend getting the 3 day pass. We used it several times for the bus and subway. My teenagers loved shopping at Spagna steps. Very expensive stores on Main Street, however explore the side streets for quaint little shops and more affordable finds.
My husband loved coming back to the apartment and turning on the air conditioning, which worked very well.
Overall, we highly recommend staying at Federica’s when you come to Rome. It was much better than a hotel for our family.
Ciao!
