HOST: Agnes was always very prompt in our communications throughout our experience, beginning with inquiring about the studio, all the way up to when we checked out. Agnes also made it much easier to arrive to the apartment/depart with arranging for private transportation to and from the airport. We met Agnes upon the agreed upon arrival time, she was punctual, friendly, and pleasant.

APARTMENT: The apartment itself looked exactly as it did in the photos, and a bit larger than what I was anticipating. The building is an older building, but the unit is completed updated. We really enjoyed having the separate bedroom, and an additional living space with TV, couch, kitchen, and table. The air conditioning was amazing, especially since the weather was in the 80s for a majority of our stay. The area is nice and quiet, especially at night. The unit faces the opposite side of the main street so it is very private and quiet. One thing that we did notice was that when in the bathroom, or the bedroom, the walls are very thin because you can easily hear your neighbors. It did not really bother us though because our neighbors were never loud, it was just a bit awkward that you can easily hear other people in your own unit. The bed was wonderful, I think it was a king size bed... but it felt like it! There were extra beddings, basic kitchen utensils, a refrigerator, and safe all in the unit.

LOCATION: The location was within walking distance to great shops, restaurants, and cafes. And most importantly, within close proximity to public transportation. The Reppublica stop was less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment, the Termini stop was less than a 10 minute walk. For some great shopping, Piazza di Spagana was less than 10 minutues away via the Red line metro, and the same for the Colosseum on the Blue line metro. We also loved that there were many major bus lines and stops off Via Nazionale (the main street by the apartment). We took the H bus to Trastavere, and the 64 bus will take you to the Vatican.

OVERALL: This is definitely a great apartment equipped with basic necessities, air conditioning, and great proximity to public transportation to make getting around easy!

Thank you, Agnes! =) We will recommend to family and friends, and hopefully we can make it back to Rome sometime!
