The apartment was very beautiful, spacious and clean. Lia was very responsive on email and met us the night of our arrival, she even arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport. We immediately felt at home at her place. The neighborhood was exactly what we had hoped it would be - Testaccio is amazing. Several of the restaraunts we had wanted to visit were within 10 minutes walk of the apartment, and there are several bus and metro lines within 10 to 15 minutes of the place. I couldn't imagine having another base for exploring Rome. Thank you, Lia!
