Our hosts made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived to the time that we left. When we got to the apartment, Carlo met us and explained how everything worked and answered all of our questions. He prepared some information about the area, with lists of local restaurants and markets that he recommends. He also gave us maps of Rome and their were tour books on the shelf. The location of the apartment was fantastic! We were across the street from the Vatican museum and only a few blocks from a metro station. The apartment was clean and well kept. They had all the necessary dishes, pots, and pans to allow us to cook each day. The apartment also had shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, hair dryer, q-tips, and linens. Our hosts also provided some snacks for us, which was great! The apartment also felt very safe, which was a huge plus. We couldn't have asked for a better housing arrangement!
