My husband and I, again made an impulsive decision to travel. So we do have just a very few days to plan ahead. We tried AirBnB since it is now known to be affordable. And found Gianna Maria's apartment. My husband and I travelled together with our 2 years old daughter and my mother in law. Gianna arranged a baby bed for our child, had a milk available for her and made the green bed linens for my mother-in-law which i requested :) She also can be reach anytime and can communicate in english very well :) The apartment is big, very clean and had everything we needed. It is located on the first floor and had a lift/elevator. When we arrived, Gianna is present to welcome us even though we arrived late at night.
When it comes to transportation:
1. You can take bus 32 to reach the vatican for just 2 stops, but you can also walk 15-25 minutes away from Gianna's apartment.
2. You can find METRO subway train (ottaviano) and walk to there for 15 minutes and travel to colosseo, palatine hill and roman forum for around 20 minutes. From there every tourist spots is accesible by bus or metro, or even walking :)
Grocery Store:
You can find grocery store just around the corner of the apartment. :)
The only problem we encountered is the airport transfer during our departure from Gianna's apartment to Fiumicino airport, the driver did not came to fetch us at the confirmed time which is 4 am but Gianna managed to help us immediately. She ordered a taxi and even paid back the extra amount that we paid for the taxi.
Thank you so much for all the help Gianna and for accomodating us! You really are kind, helpful and always greet us with a smile :) 2 thumbs-up!
