My adult daughter and I found Chiara's place to be a delightful refuge in the middle of Rome! Chiara was great at communicating with us (we used Whatsapp) and was waiting for us when we arrived. We chose to take a taxi to her apartment, but only because we brought a large suitcase. However, once we became familiar with Rome's public transportation system, we recognized how perfectly situated her apartment is for catching buses and using the metro (when we left, we stepped out her front door and took the #16 bus right to the main, Termini, train station. Then we took the direct train to the airport--so easy!) So, the location is great for catching rides into Rome central (around 20-30 minutes of riding while seeing the city--or you can walk without problems for another experience). When not touring Rome, you will have a beautiful space to enjoy! We used both the sofa-bed (large and comfortable) and the bed in the room (also large and super comfy). There is ample storage (dressers, closet), a well-equipped kitchen (and groceries available right across the street) lots of light comes in through big windows, and a lift gets you and your stuff upstairs all in a quiet, secure building. Our visit was in February, and while it was chilly outside, it was warm and cozy at all times in Chiaras place. We are so grateful for having had the opportunity to stay here on our first visit to Rome, and hope to return!
