We have just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay in Valentina's apartment in Rome. Valentina was a great host who communicated freely with us before the trip, met us at the apartment and showed us around and gave us lots of useful hints. The apartment is spacious, family friendly, clean and in a very nice part of Rome, about 15 mins walk from St Peters and about 30 mins walk from the Spanish steps. The metro station is less than 5 mins away but we only used it to get to the Colisseum as everything else was walkable, even with 2 young children.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to enjoy the magic of Rome and la dolce vita
