We stayed one week in casa Giulia and were delighted with the place. The location is a perfect base for sightseeing in Rome, very central and within walking distance of many of the major attractions. There are numerous restaurants, bars, supermarkets and cafes close by. Maria was very helpful throughout our stay and always quick to respond to any questions. She kindly allowed us to check in three hours early and was there to greet us on arrival and show us around the apartment. Her list of recommendations for bars and restaurants was very good. We tried a few and were not disappointed. Maria also booked us a taxi back to the airport for our return flight. The flat itself was simply brilliant. Very clean, spacious and light with high ceilings. The decor is beautiful and beds comfortable. The kitchen area is compact and very well equipped including a washing machine (a previous review suggested that there was no washing machine). Both bedrooms have recently been fitted with double glazed windows. These definitely help reduce night time noise when compared to the original windows in the living room. It is worth noting however that Friday and Saturday nights were more noisy with people making their way home from bars etc. This may be an issue for the light sleeper but it didn't put us off our sleep. Onto the terrace... what an amazing space. Very large, clean, modern, well furnished with comfortable seating (with canopies for shade) and lovely views. Although a shared space for all the apartments in the block, it was very quiet and we could easily find a space to relax after a busy days sightseeing or after dinner drink. We were often the only ones there! This apartment definitely deserves a 5 star rating from us. We would love to stay there again sometime. Thanks Maria!
