This place is a wonderful oasis. I'd love to live here permanently. It has everything anyone would need to feel at home in Rome. I've lived in Rome for long periods of time in the past and know my way around pretty well. I have all my favorite gelaterias, restaurants, etc. So when Francesca said that the gelateria on the corner near the apartment was amazing, I was a bit cynical. HOWEVER...it is AMAZING. I would suggest you not have any until your last night or you'll go there daily and gain a ton of weight (as I may or may not have done :-). You will love love love staying here.
