Location, location, location! The apartment was exactly what we were looking for - something very centrally located, clean and with lots of space for our two-year old. I am especially grateful for the very quick and thorough communication and for allowing us to check in early so that we didn't have to wander the city with our suitcases. Our hosts offered us local tips (and a map!) for where to go and what to see. All around, we had a wonderful experience.
There was a great place to get breakfast right around the corner, and of course the Pantheon is just 5 minutes away. You don't have to venture far to get groceries, pharmacy, as well as great shopping and restaurants - all 5-minutes away! Yet the apartment was on a quiet block, allowing us to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the streets when we needed a break.
When we return to Rome, we would definitely be interested in renting the apartment again.
