Sweet Location, Sweeter Host
We arrived in May after a long day of travel in the morning. Adriana messaged inquiring when we would arrive and when she heard it was early she said she’d make sure we could check in a little early. She had previously sent us detailed directions how to find the apartment using public transportation.
We got off a local bus near Circe Massimo (Circus Maximus) where chariot races had been held in ancient times near the Colosseum. We walked through a quiet neighborhood with small grocery stores, outdoor cafes, and a park.
The apartment had easy access and was as pictured. A sweet space for two in a quiet neighborhood and quiet building. Very nicely appointed for the traveler. The shower is small for a larger person. Adriana left us a bottle of wine, snacks, juice and water. There is a two burner stove, small refrigerator, ironing board and iron, and soaps and other necessities. Very clean and tidy.
Most importantly, Adriana was so warm and helpful. Very responsive to messaged questions about the area, and there are useful information pages in the apartment.
We met when we were leaving. Again she was so sweet and let us leave our luggage for extra hours while we did a tour of the Forum before leaving Rome.
A great experience!
