We were in communication with Federica from the airport and were met at the front entrance from our taxi and shown around the apartment.
It was just as described and proved more spacious and light that I had imagined from the photos. The apartment comfortably sleeps four adults (two in the bedroom and two on the comfortable sofa bed in the lounge).
There is a fully equipped kitchen and coffee, orange juice, water and biscuits were thoughtfully provided to get us started.
The terrace views of the illuminated dome of St Peter’s Basillica are just lovely in the evening and having breakfast out on the terrace in the morning sun was the perfect way to start a busy day seeing as many of the sights as we could fit in in four days - we walked 50 miles in total, according to my app. Of course, that made the walk up the hill to get home all the more challenging; but the regular taxis are quite good value, which surprised me - Only €10 back to the apartment from the Coluseum.
Walking down the hill and in to the old part of the city is best done and the most interesting way by walking across St Peter’s Square.
Whilst the cost of any decent accommodation in central Rome is very high, this apartment represents great value for money, especially as we were three adults which would normally require two hotel rooms. We would definitely return - hopefully soon.
