Great experience from start to finish. Marina is so considerate and lovely. Even days before we arrived we received a wealth of information to help us plan our trip. Marina & Fernandez were there to welcome us at the apartment, showing us around and telling us lots of local information. They even gave us some wine and essentials to tide us over.
The apartment is lovely, clean and had everything we needed, even wifi - It's in a really nice area just 5 minutes walk from St Peters Square in front of the Vatican. There are a few eateries around the corner and some local supermarkets for provisions.
The place is very tastefully decorated and the bed is really comfy.
The apartment is about a 15 minute walk across the river Tiber to all the main points of interest and about 30 minutes walk to the colosseum. We walked to everything and saw most of Rome's more renowned attractions in 3 days. In the evenings about 10 minutes walk is Travestere a bustling area with piazzas, bars and eateries, and in the other direction just across the river from Castel Angelo is another lovely area very similar. Marina told us all the best places to eat and value for money too.
All in all we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and we will definitely come to visit again.
Marina and Fernandez even gave us a lift to the airport as we had an early morning flight.
A little bit about Rome: Just an amazing city we loved it. Getting around, you can do it all on foot, don't be hustled into guided tours or bus tours. The bus tours don't go anywhere near the attractions anyway. Use the official websites suggested by Marina to book entrance to the attractions, don't be bamboozled by street traders or unofficial sites.
Thank you Marina for all your help and advice which certainly enhanced our stay.
