The apartment of Dr. Maurizio has been a great treat to us , as it’s reminiscent of our diplomatic flat where we stayed : the magnificent chandelier hanging from the high ceilings. Nostalgic of old European styles. The location is great for people who want to take a leisurely walk each day. As we are bonded to wheels here in Slovenia for each of our daily needs, we gladly took a change of four days mostly on foot in Rome. The 870# bus station bonnet is not far from the flat so if you want to go downhill or Vatican by bus, it’s quite convenient. Otherwise we preferred to walk downhills to Trastevere and come back in taxi after exploring attractions. The taxi service back home turned to be very affordable : around Eur10.
Dr. Maurizio was so friendly to offer us a quick ride to Vatican upon our arrival on Sunday so that we caught time to get free entrance to Vatican Museum in the last minute, which meant such a lot to us on this trip. It’s been a great Welcome gift for us on this trip from Dr. Maurizio, the landlord. Grazie mile !
Dr. Maurizio was quick to respond to me whenever I needed advices and his wife offered us precious advice for getting a bus ticket on first day of 2020, when all shops were closed. We were also allowed late checkout as our departure train was late at night.
The two suites with its private bathroom may accommodate two couples and the third extra bathroom may accommodate extra kids from the family . It’s suiting needs of large family or separate bathrooms of two couples with kids.
If there would be a king bed or queen bed in one of the bedrooms, I would love it better since I have been used to sleeping in big bed. I hardly took care not to roll off my single bed during my sleep since the two single beds were not tightly connected in my right side bedroom.
In spite of the small defects, I slept well (after adapting myself to single bed) among the fragrant books piled up to ceilings and my demanding husband enjoyed sitting on the couch greeted by the warm sunshine each morning he got up. He was enlightened by the piano which was also reminiscent of his young years when he was a student musician.
It’s a great treat for those who are nostalgic same as we or who are used to high ceilings accommodation with an old Italian style .
I would gladly recommend it to my retired friends to accommodate here as they come to explore the rich culture of Rome and Vatican.
In return I would love to welcome you and your wife to visit us in Slovenia so that I have chance to treat you back with my friendly tour guide service as well as airport pickup if only I would be available .
Buon Anno Nuovo 2020 !
