Daniela's apartment was the perfect base during our six nights in Rome in July.
The apartment itself is in an old convent that has been converted into condos without losing any of its charm. The apartment has all the modern conveniences, including a strong AC, which was important for us because it was scorching hot when we visited. Because the walls are stone, the apartment kept cool through the day and night. Daniela has carefully renovated the place: The kitchen is spare but has everything you need, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is clean with a good strong shower. We were very comfortable there.
The apartment is located right off the Roman Forum -- you can catch a great view of it if you hang a right out the cobblestone street that her apartment is located on. Ten more minutes walking will take you to to Colosseum. The apartment is in the historical center of Rome -- there is so much to see on every street and every corner.
We usually grabbed dinner across the river in the hip Trastevere neighborhood that is chock full of restaurants and bars, just a ten minute walk. Going farther afield is easy also -- there are a number of bus lines that pickup nearby.
All in all, we could not have asked for more.
