Gemma was waiting for us upon arrival at the apartment with pastry from the local bakery. The apartment is centrally located and we were able to walk to all of the major site seeing locations in Rome. There are many tasty local restaurants that you can just fall in to if you do not want to take advantage of her fully equipped kitchen. There are a number of markets near by to fill the fridge with if you are staying longer. I'm all we enjoyed our stay with Gemma!
