Carmen was such a lovely host- she and her nephew made us feel very welcome and she was quick to respond to any messages or questions. She even provides a complimentary breakfast at her family restaurant which was delicious. I would highly recommend her.
The location of the flat is PERFECT. We could not have picked a better place for our stay in Rome. The nearest metro (for connecting to and from the airport/train) is less than 10 minutes by foot. You are less than a 15 minute walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and all sorts of wonderful shopping and eating. There was a grocery store right around the corner. The Forum is only a bit further and there are easy bus connections to the Vatican. If you are wanting to see the sites, this is the flat for you.
We found the flat itself very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Both the bed and pull out couch were perfectly comfortable. The shower was typical of a European apartment- very very small!
Overall, however, we loved our visit to Rome and staying at Carmen's was a big part of making our trip so wonderful.
