Barbara’s flat was a wonderful oasis of peace in Rome. It is very spacious, and has a fully equipped kitchen. The location was fantastic — just a few minutes’ walk from Cavour metro, and only one stop from Roma Termini, which was handy for coming from the airport and also taking day trips by train to Naples. The neighborhood is also very chic and convenient, and has a good supermarket right across from the metro stop. There are also many wonderful places to eat right by the flat. I also appreciated that although it’s very central, it was also quiet — at night, the crowds would be loud out on the street, but inside the flat you couldn’t hear the noise. The building does seem to rent out a few other flats, and the first night there were some other tourists who were making some noise, but they stopped before it got too late.
I also appreciated the amenities that made it like home, including a washing machine to do laundry and even a hairdryer. The panini place next door, Mizio’s Street Food, was quite good, and the owner was the friendliest person I met in Rome. I needed to get an electrical converter (the one I used in other European countries didn’t work in Italy), and the little hardware store down the street sold one for 4 Euros.
Enjoy your stay in this great flat!
