Barbara is simply the best host you could ever hope for. Our trip into Rome was quite rocky. We we unable to make our connecting flight and then upon arrival our bags were no where to be found. We ended up getting into the city at around 1:00 a.m. - many hours later than expected. We contacted Barbara who said it was no trouble - she arranged for our transport to the apartment, greeted us like we were old friends, and had pizzas brought to us minutes after we were through the door!
Barbara continued to help us throughout our stay be it with recommendations on restaurants , transportation back to the airport to look for the missing luggage, and help with an assortment of other details. She is an incredibly warm and friendly person. A true delight!
As for the apartment, we loved being right on Campo de Fiori! Open the big windows and listen to the sounds of the busy marketplace during the day and at night enjoy the energy and excitement of all that goes on. But close the doors and it's plenty quiet enough to sleep. And the location is great! So close to many of Rome's big attractions but you don't feel like you're in a touristy area.
The apartment had everything we needed for our family of four and I thought it offered tremendous value for what it cost. It felt like a real Roman apartment.
Thanks Barbara for taking such good care of us! We will be forever grateful for making our stay in Rome so special.
