Thank you Alessandro and Michela for a lovely stay in Rome.
The apartment was perfectly located, making it possible to explore the centre of Rome by foot - the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Trevi Foundation, the Piazza Navona are all within walking distance. Although small, the apartment offered everything that we needed, particularly the much-loved air-conditioning (especially as it was consistently 30-35 degrees throughout our stay). We also found the fridge particularly helpful for ensuring we had bottles of cold water to take out with us everyday, and also the hob for occasional use. The fact that the apartment had a selection of pots and pans to use was also very helpful.
Alessandro and Michela also provided a book on arrival, which included details and recommendations of things to do in the area and also recommendations for places to eat. There were directions given to a local supermarket, which was of great use to us. While Alessandro and Michela were on holiday themselves during our stay, we were met by a person to help us with checking in who was very polite, and offered us help with our bags and also helped answer any initial questions that we had. Despite being on holiday, Alessandro was in contact with us at the beginning of our trip and made it clear that he was only a message away.
Our main requirements for our stay in Rome was that we had a comfy apartment to use as our base, providing the opportunity to relax and chill out after long walks in the blazing sunshine - Alessandro and MIchela's apartment provided this and more and made our first stay in Rome a very good experience! Thank you again :)
