Roberta, and her place were fantastic. She kept in constant contact via email, made sure someone called us and was available by telephone. Despite having to change our arrival time last minute because our flight was delayed, Roberta made sure someone was there to meet us after hours at the apartment, show us the layout and give us keys.
The apartment itself is located in the middle of the perfect little Italian neighborhood: stores, eateries, bike/Segway rentals, several buses, a block literally away from the coliseum, and is just the right size for 3-4 people. Roberta even had a single cot setup at no extra cost which was a nice surprise for the 3 of us as one of us was quite content with sleeping on the large comfy couch, while 2 would easily share the queen bed. The two bathrooms also came in very handy and we enjoyed sitting and talking in the AC cooled main room, while watching Italian television at night.. Especially after a very long day of walking in the unending Rome heat.
The veranda was amazing. Truly the most understated aspect of the apartment. It overlooks the entire street and is the perfect place for pictures, conversation and snacks. If we had stayed longer, and if it were not 100 degrees everyday, that outside balcony would of been our main hang out spot easily fitting all 3 of us.
All in all Roberta's place was too good to be true and exactly as described; actually, it was under-described considering it's stunningly ideal location and fantastic balcony. We would happily stay here again in a heartbeat if Roberta would have us.
