Carmen is an excellent host. She is very knowledgeable about her city and was able to give us some great tips about her neighbourhood and Rome itself. Communication with Carmen was excellent.
The location of the apartment is very good. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The bus stop to the city centre is just around the corner and there's a tabacci a couple doors down to buy bus tickets.
The apartment was spotless; you can tell that Carmen likes to keep everything clean and tidy. We had the Red room and the Blue room and they were very spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are bigger than most European bathrooms. The kitchen/dining area is cozy with a big table that lets everyone eat and talk together. There's also a record player that you can use to put on some nice background music. Carmen's cooking was a treat. We especially enjoyed the homemade orange marmalade and biscotti.
This was our first time in Rome and it felt like home away from home. Thank you Carmen!
