The apartment was perfect. It was well located in a building with an elevator so getting our heavy luggage upstairs was very easy. The apartment was a great size with a comfortable sitting and dining area and all we needed in the kitchen.

The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for clothes to hang or fold in the wardrobe. The bathroom was clean and the shower provided a wonderful hot stream of water.

Having a small washing machine was such a bonus as you could wash a load of clothes, hang them on the drying rack, and they were dry the next day.

Luca was a fantastic host. He provided a good information list with advice on the area, and although he was unable to meet us personally on the first day, he arranged for Geraldine to be there to show us around the apartment and answer all our questions.

When we were departing, Luca met us and helped us get our luggage to the station (just a few blocks), and even went with me to the Pharmacy to help me buy some painkillers for a severe toothache. Thank you so much for your kindness and help on that day, Luca.

I have no hesitation in recommending Piazza Barberini for your stay in Rome. If we return, we will definitely stay there again.
