We just returned from our trip to Rome where we visited our son who is studying at the American University of Rome. When we travel for pleasure, we really enjoy the space, convenience and special nature of staying in a home or apartment. From the moment I reviewed the web posting, the descriptions, the photos and the reviews, I was impressed. My initial positive impressions were totally reinforced once we arrived. The apartment is everything described and more. Top quality all the way and extremely comfortable. Martin is the ultimate host...he went out of his way to make this experience as enjoyable and easy as possible. His sister Elizabeth lives in Rome and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. From the moment we arrived at FCO at 7:00AM, the driver was waiting for us and took us directly to the apartment - there were no hassles about early check-in and Antonello was waiting for us when we arrived to show us the place. There was also a very nice "welcome" bottle of wine awaitng us. The Master bedroom and bathroom were extremely comfortable with great white cotton linens and down comforters. Our son stayed on the pullout sofa in the TV room and our daughter stayed in the second bedroom...very comfortable for both. The ultimate pleasure was the rooftop terrace where we had breakfast every day and we enjoyed the views and a glass of wine or two each evening. We also hosted our son and his friends for dinner one night - dinner for 18 on the rooftop terrace - with lots of room, plenty of white dinnerware and glassware and terrific views. I would highly recommend Martin for any place he represents, but we absolutely LOVED this penthouse apartment in a very quaint, safe and beautiful area of Rome with many restaurants and close proximity to the tram. Wonderful time!
