A lovely apartment which suited our needs perfectly. We were greeted by Guiseppe on our arrival who then sat down with us to go over the things we needed to know about the apartment as well as the surrounding area.
There was milk and water in the fridge as well as plenty coffee, tea, hot chocolate and even small sponge cakes. Guiseppe was very helpful in providing information about potential areas to visit and local amenities and recommended Pappagallo which we visited on our first night. Lovely food and even better desserts!
This apartment is ideally located for a trip to the Vatican which is up the hill and round the corner more or less. There is also a bus stop outside the apartment making it easy to travel further across the city and visit the other sites such as the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Colosseum and so on. Make sure you buy your bus tickets BEFORE you travel.
Once you arrive on this side of the river there are plenty of tour buses to choose from however, they are best used if you start early. They are of course open top buses so make sure you have appropriate sun protection since there is little shade.
It's surprising how much of the city you can cover on foot and how close these famous landmarks are to one and other particularly east of the river where you find most of the famous landmarks.
A trip to Rome is made better when you have a good host and this is what we had. We had a warm welcome form Guiseppe and he was very helpful even arranging the airport transfers for us. We can highly recommend this host!
Grazi mille Guiseppe!
