I cannot say enough good things about our stay with Raffaella!
First, the apartment is beautiful, clean, and well taken care of. We had 4 adults, one child, and one infant staying here for 5 nights, and we were all very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and there are two great bathrooms, each with large showers. The apartment is especially great if you have children, including a baby cot, highchair, and lots of toys and entertainment for kids. It can be tough to travel with little ones, and Raffaella's apartment is a great space for families. The location is great, with a bus stop right in front of the building and a Metro station just a few hundred meters away.
Second, Raffaella is a gracious and highly responsive host. She was on holiday while we were staying in her home, and she was always available to answer questions and help us confirm plans. She coordinated our pickup at the train station and two separate drop-offs at the airport with a responsible and friendly driver.
Lastly, Raffaella ensured that we had a great time while we were in Rome, coordinating two tours for us with a personal guide at the Vatican and the Colosseum. The tour guide she booked for us was one of the best guides I've ever had - he was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and flexible in his planning to accommodate our two small children for two long days of touring. He tailored his tour to our family and my 5 year old, even making her a picture book for each of our tours and keeping her engaged for many hours (not an easy feat!). I'm so thankful to Raffaella for arranging such a memorable experience for me and my family.
I would highly, HIGHLY recommend staying with Raffaella during your time in Rome. Thank you, Raffaella, for everything!
