Rosalba provided a fabulous experience. Everything was absolutely perfect. I have stayed in 4 star hotels which did not provide such good service.
Everything from the welcome 'snack' - plate of sandwiches and some very nice pastries, to the smooth checkout was wonderful.
On arrival Rosalba took us through how everything worked and gave us some suggestions for restaurants.
The apartment matched the description exactly, the rooms are well furnished with modern TVs and efficient air conditioning.
The apartment has beautiful high ceilings and lovely large windows so is well lit. All the windows have very good internal shutters so that one can make the rooms nice and dark and not be woken by early sun. The bedroom windows are double glazed so there is very little noise from the streets below.
The kitchen although small is very well thought out and has everything we needed. There is no oven but we didn't miss that. Rosalba had provided breakfast cereal and bread and jam for toast, as well as bottled drinks in the fridge so we were well looked after and didn't have to buy anything.
The dishwasher did take two attempts to get things clean but maybe we had the wrong setting.
The little one cup coffee maker, Nespresso or similar was very good too.
The lounge is very spacious with a good TV. We happily watched Netflix on the provided set top box. The TV has HDMI so could use my Chromecast.
There were a few English shows on the Italian TV too.
Internet connection was good.
The apartment was spotless through out. The cleaning service kept it clean and provided us with new towels and soaps etc.
The location of the apartment is very convenient. It is just round the corner from the vatican. We went on a Thursday at 1:30 and queued for 45 minutes, (it is much cheaper than paying for the skip the line tickets) after a nice one plate buffet lunch at Sistorante.
The Pompi tiramisu and gelato shop is just 2 minutes walk, and there is a Coop supermarket about 5 minutes walk.
We walked to most places, it is about 25 minutes walk to the Pantheon.
A cab to the Coloseum cost 13.50 euros. A taxi to the main station was 17 euros.
There is also a bus stop just outside the apartment.
There are lots of good restaurants near by, the Mamma Veneria is particularly good.
Rosalba was very responsive to any queries we had and I can't recommend her apartment highly enough.
Thank you Rosalba for making our holiday so special.
