Our first time in Rome was complete with the stay at Valerio's apartment. Valerio picked us up from the train station in his car and took us back to the apartment. He did not forget to point out Rome's attraction along the way, like a private tour almost :) Valerio showed us the apartment and very good with communication during our entire stay.
- The location: super!!! You're in ancient Rome area. The Colosseum is visible right outside the door. We walked everywhere and got to enjoy the view the the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine Hill both during the day and at night. The bus station is one block away with buses to everywhere in Rome.
TIP: Our favorite bus to the Vatican is #571 with way less tourists (less chance of pickpocketing) and the bus drops you on the left side entrance of the Vatican with way less people through security.
- The apartment: clean and neat. The supermarket is 2 blocks away so one night we cooked and enjoy a movie at home. Valerio has the Sky tv with lots of movie in English. The apartment is efficient and lot of light. It's right on the ground floor so not climbing stair which is nice for us with big suitcases.
Overall we had a great stay at Valerio's apartment. The area is very nice and historic. We can't wait to go back to Rome.
