Camilla and MariaStella were wonderful hosts. I must admit we were poorly prepared for the Rome heat in July, but the flat remained around 75 cool degrees despite the heat outside being 98. Our infant had a fever of 103 for the first 2 days and our hosts were in touch frequently to offer help. After a quick recovery we found the trains and busses were readily available. There are amazing restaurants and gelato shops nearby, as well as shopping. The bus was a 30 minute ride into the center to see the Collosseum, Trevi Fountain, ETC, Vatican city was about 30 minutes walking with children. I couldn't be happier about the value for money spent and out super kind, careful hosts.The flat was perfect for 6 of us, 3 being 9, 11 and 1 yr old. Oh, and if you walk up the hill, you will undoubtably see a flock of green parrots? fly by. It's a beautiful home in the center of Rome for an extremely affordable price. We will be back!!!
