There are sooo many great things to say that I don’t know where to start!
Andrea was in communication before and during my stay. He has thoughtfully provided directions, helpful instructions in the apartment and extra guidance about the neighborhood.
It was an easy walk for me from Termini to arrive at the apartment. There are a few stairs to reach the lift. Check in was sooo easy. And when I had my ‘blonde moment’ with the shower diverter, he handled it so much faster than I could have imagined!
The bed was very comfortable and I loved having a towel that I can wrap all
around myself!!
The apartment is so cozy and the view of the ruins is unbelievable! I am a little bit of a history geek and kept pinching myself!! While the Colosseum is to the right, go to the left to another gem...San Clemente!!
First, about noise - with the city, comes sounds ... people, cars, deliveries, etc. Andrea supplied ear plugs though I didn’t use them. There are panels on the shutters to help insulate and I closed one but just to darken the sleeping area. I am barely 5’5” and I could touch the ceiling with my outstretched arm. So a very tall person might take more care and bow their head in some places. If these 2 conditions concern you, do everyone a favor and keep looking. :-) Otherwise, this place is a gem!
The location is great - tram, subway and bus stops all within a short walk. Many cafes and restaurants are available to enjoy small bites or a full meal. There is also the 24 hour market around the corner and numerous places to sample different flavors of gelato!!
It was just me but with the large bed and fold-out, I can see how easy more peeps can be comfortably accommodated. The kitchen had just what I needed to have a nice cup of tea or to reheat a slice of pizza con fungi!
I did not need to store luggage but that may be arranged. Used various maps on my phone and had no trouble navigating. I walked to/from Piazza Navona taking in the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, the wedding cake and pedestrian walk through the Forum to the Colosseum and apartment. I used the bus to head to St. Peter’s.
Andrea left a bottle of Prosecco and a welcome gift. I’d be back in a heartbeat and have already suggested to a few friends. Grazie Mille!!
