We loved staying in Anna's place. It had everything one can wish for: comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen with a lot of condiments, teas, coffee, two TVs. It was so clean and so pleasant to come back to after August heat. We would trudge through and then once we reached the apartment it felt like a little piece of haven. We also really liked the location, it's a short walk to Coliseum and from there another few minutes to Piazza Venezia. And there are plenty of neighborhood restaurants and cafes around the apartment. It was great to go down for an espresso before sightseeing. We like walking, but in August, the weather is a bit hot, so we took buses everywhere, hooray to Google maps which works great in Rome. We liked being away from the historic center so we can have a quieter stay. At the same time the place is close enough to make it easy to get anywhere.
Anna was a wonderful host, very responsive. She made us feel welcome before we got to the apartment and when we got there, she had her son, Edgar, meet us downstairs. Anna and Edgar both contacted us on What's App to make sure they are waiting for us. And then a day later when I told Anna how tired we were, she ordered pizza for us.
It was a wonderful stay and a lot of that "wonderfulness" was because Anna made it so.
