A warm welcome with clear instructions for onward self-sufficiency!
The location, see below, is ideal for those who want to be in one of the best neighborhood of the old Rome; a quartiere (or Riunione as Romans would say) where family-styled trattorie and authentic artisan shops spread above and below the Via del Governo Vecchio; where the buses leading everywhere are just a block away; and the Tiber River promenade (LungoTevere) a few blocks further. The neighborhood sites are Piazza Navona, the Campo de'Fiori open market, the ancient temple ruins of the Largo Argentina and the Pantheon.
My first comment to Roberta, who has become a friend, is that the apartment looks exactly like it does in the photographs: beautiful, spacious, high-ceilinged, wood accented; designed with antique furnishings and hand-painted accents, with a fashion designer's personal touch. The mezzanine level (primo piano) apartment feels like a small loft, located in a late 17th c. house on one of the best situated streets of the historic center (vecchio centro). The apartment, organized for comfort and functionality, with Roberta's typical efficiency accessibility, has evrything needed for a residential stay: a fully equipped open-style kitchen for meals at home; both a washing machine and dishwasher; modern plumbing and plenty of hot water; arge flat-screen TV; a remote operated ceiling A/C and heater; and free WiFI with strong reception. You only have to bring your cell phone for telephone access, and adapter plugs. Roberta, herself, is a dream -- the perfect hostess always there if needed who hopes that her guests will appreciate the care and taste that she has lovingly poured into this family-owned apartment; and take good care of it. As savvy as she is open-hearted, she knows the discoveries of the neighborhood and the best nearby shops and restaurants which she has listed in personal guides and recommendations for her guests.
