Rita was incredibly generous with welcoming gifts and food in the fridge. The apartment, although up a lot of stairs, was well worth it! Not furnished by IKEA, like so many places are - this was lovely and inviting, and made us feel very much at home. And what a perfect location! Very close to Campo de' Fiori, our favorite place in Rome, and equally close to the Santa Maria area of Trastevere just across the river where there are great restaurants and lots of nightlife. It's also walking distance to all the major sites in Rome. Your cab can take you within half a block of this place - it's restricted to pedestrians, which makes it much quieter than almost anywhere else in Rome. Grocery store three doors down. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
