Our family of four had a wonderful stay in Rome at Aldo’s apartment. For us, many of the sights were a simple short walk away. It was predictably hot in Rome, and the apartment was a great oasis from the heat — cool and well equipped. Aldo went out of his way to be a good host: he gave us loads of advice, arranged us a cab when we needed one, and was happily available to answer all our tourist-type questions. Even the fridge was stocked with basics when we got there. Our trip to Rome was short, but Aldo’s apartment really allowed us to maximize our time there.
