If you ever have an opportunity to stay in Emi’s place, do not hesitate for even a moment - reserve it right away. First, the location: I cannot imagine an apartment more central to all the places any tourist wants to see while in Rome - easy walking distance to Trevi, the Coliseum, Trajan’s Column, the Pantheon, Palantine Hill, the Tiber river, and so much more. It is located in what was once the Jewish Ghetto and is one of the oldest sections of an extremely old city. It was delightful to get lost wandering down the many winding streets and alleys - always felt safe, always some new treasure around every corner from the ancient world. As if that isn’t enough, there are many little restaurants and shops mere steps away for amazing breakfast and dinner meals.
The apartment itself is excellent with a full and large kitchen (by European standards), furnished with comfortable furniture, WiFi, etc. The bed is easily big enough for two to sleep comfortably with a pullout couch in the living room.
The host: I never would have thought I would be so lucky as to spend time with the host. The host and her significant other spent the entire first evening with us walking us around the neighborhood and pointing out important historical landmarks. They even joined us for our first evening’s dinner. They were so friendly and welcoming and interesting. They helped us get our bearings in the city, and really made our stay special.
I strongly recommend this apartment and host. If you want to stay in the old most romantic section of town, and get lost in the wonders of Rome, this is the place.
