Location is fabulous-all tourist spots were within walking distance, as was the train station. The flat was spacious and well designed. She generously provided espresso, snacks, drinks, shampoo, dishwasher and laundry detergent. Privacy and safety were appreciated. Her manual with restaurant and tourist suggestions was supremely helpful. She also suggested a knowledgeable tourist guide and we were lucky to have enlisted her for our 3 hour tour of Vatican, when all tickets were sold out. When we had questions or concerns, she was prompt to respond. When we missed our initial train, she patiently waited for us at the flat. Outstanding hostess! Air conditioning wasn’t working but weather was so lovely, we opened windows and were comfortable. Heat was preset, which got a bit over-warm for us, but windows offset the heat. Word of advice-Rome is bustling at all hours, with tourists parting but also with working people going about their business. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Don’t pack fancy heels or uncomfortable shoes, for Rome, as the streets are mostly cobblestone and not conducive to fashion. Bring sweaters as weather can change without warning. Carry toilet paper while touring, carry euros since public restrooms charge admission for maintenance. Prepare for constant solicitation but all you must do is repeat ‘No thank you!’ Utilize phone apps for waking tours to familiarize yourself with Rome, if you have the time. Rick Steve’s has decent introductory tours or there are many others suggested on Trip Advisor app. (The forum on Trip Advisor was absolutely essential in my travel planning and made a breeze out of intricate travel choices, such as airports, train schedules, itineraries, etc)
