Lavinia welcomed us at the apartment . Before this she advised us directions and how to get there . We chose a taxi ... She said it should be no more than €30 but I think as tourists the taxi drivers do try to get more. We paid €40! But Lavinia organised a driver she uses on the way back who was €30 . The apartment was spotless and spacious it is all newly refurbished and done very tastefully. There are basic provisions like tea coffee , sugar .you just need to get milk and food yourselves for the fridge. We have 2 children age 12&9 who had twin beds in one room . The windows are double glazed and have shutters to make the room dark at night . The apartment is on a busy alley which is a little noisy .the double glazing helps and the restaurants along the street close at 11. location was superb for all the sights , everything is walkable from here .Having 2 children it was a great location and we never used the bus or train . Just around the corner there are great restaurants and a natural juice bar selling the most amazing sandwiches, croissants and smoothies perfect to start the day. The furthest we walked was a meandering slow walk of 40 mins to the Vatican . We took a private tour that is highly recommended for family's to keep the children involved called walk inside Rome . Lavinia has a book of information on all resturants recommended not too touristy. And info on anything you want to know she is very helpful. We had a great time in Rome . But wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled streets .! Our flight back home was a very early start so we had a hotel booked near to the airport for our last night and Lavinia was very accommodating and we were able to have a later check out. thanks Lavinia !
