It was a pleasure to stay at Orietta's place! The apartment is small but very cosy, perfect for two people. I was there with my mum and we didn't spend a lot of time there since we were visiting the city almost all day long (and for that reason didn't have much contact with Orietta which was a pity), but it was always nice to come back home after a busy day.
Orietta gave me tips how to get to the apartment and - when I already got there - said what should I visit in Rome and handed couple of guidebooks. I found it really nice that she thought about equipping bathroom with basic things as shower gel, shampoo - generally you travel with them, but it gave me a feeling of being at home, not in a place that you just rent.
Although Orietta doesn't speak English well and I speak Italian only a bit, we didn't have any problems to communicate.
In a fridge I found ingredients to prepare breakfast (eggs, jam, butter, yoghurts, milk ...) and coffee. If I needed something more I was going to a shop which is only max 7-10 min by walking. It's a real advantage that the apartment has a green terrace where you can enjoy your breakfast.
The place is about 10-15 min from the St Peter’s Square. If you want to travel to the city center, it's best to take a bus 982 (it goes every 25-30 min, the stop about 2 min from the apartment). I like to walk so I used the bus only in the evenings.
Thank you Orietta for being such a nice host!
