We had a fantastic week's break in Rome in Nicolo's family's apartment. We arrived on Easter Sunday; all the shops nearby were closed but we found the fridge fully stocked with enough food for a couple of meals for our family of 5, as well as some lovely chocolate eggs to really make us feel welcome. Nicolo showed us around and he and Elisabetta were extremely attentive hosts. The apartment was large, airy and spotless; a real home from home and a perfect retreat after a strenuous day's sightseeing. It was a good distance to walk from the centre, but the nearby metro station made it really easy to get anywhere quickly. The only slight drawback was the lack of a washing machine, but I believe that this is soon to be sorted out. All in all, we would not hesitate to recommend the apartment for a family holiday in Rome.
