The flat was beautiful and it was very easy to communicate with Francesco per email and cell. We arrived at the arranged time and were welcomed directly into the flat. Wifi information, towels, shampoo and soap, coffee and tea were all welcome touches that made our arrival and our stay overall very comfortable. The flat is in a great location - right between the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps. While these are both popular and often very crowded spots in the city, the flat itself is off a small side street, which makes for a quieter, calmer atmosphere. It was always a relief to return after a long day of walking and relax in the cool apartment. The bed is very, very comfortable, almost making it hard to get up and out of the house to explore the city! The kitchen is equipped with the essentials (coffee machine, water cooker, wine opener, utensils and dishes, napkins) and there is a small refrigerator, where you can store perishables. In the nearby Via Vitorria there is a grocery market (Carrefour Express), where you can stock up on food and drink if you don't want to eat out at every meal.
Overall it was a wonderful first time in Rome and this beautiful apartment was a large factor in my positive experience!
