What a superb stay at Loredana and Renato's apartment!
Communication beforehand was very responsive and Loredana provided all the exact details that I needed before arrival.
If you're keen to experience authentic Roman way of life, then, this apartment is ideal for your stay. It is located in a residential area on the east side of the city. It is a really easy journey, being no more than 20 minutes by Metro from Termini, Rome's main rail station. From Ribebbia metro station, the apartment is less than a 10 minute walk.
The photographs really captures the layout very well. It is a newly refurbished apartment completed to a very high standard.
On arrival, Loredana and Renato had a most generous welcome pack of food and drinks for me. It was a great start to my holiday.
The bedroom is very spacious with a superb bed/mattress. The window has an integrated block-out blind which is great if you need a power-nap during the day. Then, at night time, there is the starry sky - not a gimmick at all though really conducive to deep sleep.
Between the Metro and the apartment, there is a row of shops etc.
LOCAL SHOPS: Within 2 minutes of the apartment, there is an excellent supermarket: Fresco. There is also a very good greengrocer and a lovely patisserie.
LOCAL CAFES: If you're feeling lazy like me, there is a very good value Japanese/Chinese restaurant. There is also a cafe with great coffee, snacks and fresh bakes. The local pizza takeaway is excellent: Roman-style thin crust 🍕
If like me, you prefer to be a visitor instead of a tourist, then, this apartment is ideal and a great way to experience normal day-to-day living in Rome.
Highly recommended 👌
