My family loved our stay in Barbara's apartment in Campo de' Fiori. We stayed 4 nights, and everything was wonderful!

Barbara is an absolutely terrific host. Friendly, organized, quick responses. She helped arrange a car service to pick us up from the airport and had fresh fruit waiting for us. It was a huge help when she spoke to people for us over the phone in Italian when the airline lost a luggage and there was a lot of confusion about how and when we would get our bag.

Apartment: Lovely, bright, clean, airy. As described. Plenty of space for my family of 5 adults. It was well-stocked, and the beds were comfortable (the couch bed was extremely comfortable too). We even did a load of laundry (warning though that one load took almost 2 hours, but that seemed to be the case throughout Italy).

Location: We did a lot of research about where to stay in Rome, and I think the location just can't be beat. It's right in the heart of rome and the Pantheon/Navona part of town that is packed with restaurants, bars, gelaterias, sights. We were able to walk to all the major sights -- Coliseum, Forum, Vatican, Spanish Steps, etc etc -- as well as neighborhoods south of the river like Trastevere. Easy bus access to sights that are further away (like ones near the train station).

Noise: There's quite a bit of activity in the square, but I was really surprised by how good the sound insulation was for the windows. Of course, there is still some sound, but we never had any problems sleeping at all, and we loved being able to open the window and hear the activity below.

I highly recommend this apartment and hope to have the chance to stay there again.
