Federico’s place was a charming slice of Italian life! The apartment was a very old world setting (inlaid tiled floors, old shuttered windows) but tastefully decorated in a modern way. The apartment had all the necessities to do basic cooking including a coffee pot, microwave, toaster, pots, pans, glasses, dishes, silverware, four burner stove, dishwasher and full size refrigerator. Federico even left us coffee, sugar, salt and pepper. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable, large bed (queen I think). The bathroom was very modern complete with a washer and towel warmer. The living area was smallish but had a great flow and was very well decorated and definitely sufficient for my husband and I. The balcony off the bedroom was definitely one of my favorite parts of the apartment, we sat out there every day even though we were there in December! There is a small (very small) but functional lift for 1-2 persons with luggage so you don’t have to drag your bags up and down. But by far the best part of the apartment was the location. There were shops, cafes, great gelato, beautiful Santa Maria Maggiore basilica and a metro stop all within blocks of the apartment. We have been to Rome before and stayed in hotels but we wanted a true Roman neighborhood experience and Federico’s flat really delivered on that! We hope to come and stay there again!!
