Overall we had an amazing time in Rome. There is so much to see and do and everyone is so friendly. The weather during our stay was gloriously sunny every day and meant we could visit every where on foot. I would definitely recommend booking tickets for places you'd like to visit in advance as the queues on the day are huge!
Paolo's apartment was located in the Travestere area of Rome - its full of life and is a brilliant area to stay. There are many positives - some of these are:
- Lots of restaurants and a local supermarket near by
- Not far from Fumincino airport
- Emanuela (Housekeeper) and Paolo (Owner) were both really helpful booking taxi's and answering questions
- Walking distance (approx 1 mile) to lots of tourist attractions
- Bedrooms are a really good size, beds are very comfortable and they all have beautiful sunny views. Everyone had a really good nights sleep!
- Really close to the river Tiber which has lots of great market stalls and restaurants on the waters edge
- Having a washing machine & tumble drier was really handy
- Great wifi connection
There are a few points that we think should be noted or minor improvements that could be made to the apartment:
- There was toilet paper in bathroom on arrival - it would be nice to have this especially when checking in late at night.
- Air conditioning is only in the living area and 1 of the bedrooms
- maybe a small selection of plastic plates/bowls/cups could be provided for children
- there are no drawers for clothes in the largest bedroom
- 1 toilet for 6-8 people can be an issue especially when it's in the bathroom
- No safe for passports, etc
- There are lots of stairs! Definitely not ideal for anyone with knee or leg problems
I would like to say that none of these would stop us from booking the apartment again or recommending it to others.
Thanks for a great stay in Rome 🇮🇹
