We had a wonderful vacation thanks to Allessandro and Emanuele. They were very helpful and provided many suggestions, recommendations for eating and booking tickets for sites to visit. Emanuele welcomed us on Christmas Eve and spent a lot of time familiarizing us with the neighborhood and helping us settle in as well as assisting with Christmas lunch reservations. The apt. Is cozy, very comfortable and warm when we came back home tired each evening. location is very central and all sites and restaurants are within walking distance. If you visit during holidays like we did, please be aware that bus schedules can be unpredictable. We spent a lot of time waiting for buses that didn't arrive or were cancelled, many restaurants and bakeries are closed. On the brighter side, the streets are not crowded and it is wonderful to walk around and visit places that are normally crowded - all the fountains are free to relax at and no crowds. We felt very safe at the apt and paid heed to all the common sense security precautions from Emanuele. Despite all that I learnt you need to be extra vigilant on the buses to keep pick pockets away. I was thankful for help from a local lady who alerted me while my purse was being picked on bus 40 - the bus was not crowded and we were just getting on to the bus. We are thankful for all the wonderful help and hospitality we received in Rome.
