Book your stay with Gaia and you will have a wonderful trip!!
My Husband and I travel to a few Countries a year and Rome was our first stop on this year's travels. We originally got Gaia's space because of the location, it is very close to the train station, making our transportation really easy. With so many pickpockets in Rome, we felt safe the whole time and even the area around the apt felt safe to roam around. Gaia was very patient and thorough at check-in. Made sure to explain everything in the apartment, gave us recommendations on where to go, eat and even where to shop at a nearby food market, just minutes away from the apt. She gave us 2 options, but we loved Conrads because of the options and prices. There aren't too many breakfast options in Rome and as an Americans, Breakfast is essential. If you stop by Conrads be sure to check out their house Mozarella and the Salami as a treat. My job requires I work during vacation, and having a delightful treat made my night! The apt is small but was more than perfect for my Husband and I. He is 6'4 but we didn't have a problem with the 2nd story, where we slept since there was a short time spent there from our day. If you are over 6'0 you may have to watch your head when you reach the 2nd floor, but won't be too bad once you get in bed. The kitchen is well, equipped, which is very important to us because we like to cook one meal a day in our room to save money and also eat something close to home. When you travel it is very hard to find eggs and ham/bacon/steak. I have to point out this was my first time traveling without my blow dryer, which caused me anxiety because I am very picky about my blow dryer, but was trying to save space and my Solano is heavy and takes a lot of space. Ladies, Gaia has a wonderful blowdryer, so feel safe to leave yours at home and instead bring back more souvenirs or clothing. Clothes is sooo cheap in Rome!!! Gaia was very helpful and responsive all 3 days we stayed in her apt and even helped us get a taxi to the airport at 4 in the morning. Her driver was very friendly and was right on time at 4 when we peaked out of our apt. We will stay here again in the future when we come back to Rome.
