We immediately felt at home in Tina and Max's apartment. They are both very warm and welcoming. We felt like we were living as residents in the neighborhood.
The space was perfect for 2 adults (one bed) and two teenagers (two twin beds.) The apartment was quiet at night; we slept well. Two bathrooms were greatly appreciated. We also did multiple washes and could easily hang our clothes to dry in the closets. Easy one flight to the entrance and disposal of garbage (a service sorts everything so you don't have to.) A/C in the bedrooms worked great.
We inquired about availability of ice from the freezer before we arrived and were greeted with 3 ice cube trays which we really needed during Rome's heat wave. We had multiple questions and requests during our stay and Tina and Max went above and beyond the call of duty to help.
The apartment location is simply perfect. We were 5 to 30 minutes away by foot from everything we wanted to see, or a few minutes walk to a bus. All of the surrounding neighborhoods, north, south, east, west, are charming. We loved just walking around and dropping into restaurants that looked good. Great food everywhere we went. If we return to Rome, and we hope we do, we'd want to stay here again.
