Manuela's place is simply the greatest location for an appartment in Rome, as well as clean, tidy and very comfortable. Manuela's son, Mattia, locked us in by arrival and gave us the keys. Very polite!
50 m from the large front door of the beautiful old stone building is a tasty restaurant, la scaletta. Grocery store, carrefour, with a large selection of everything you need within a 10 min walk through beautiful Italian narrow streets.
A farmers marked at campo di fiori, 10 min away where we bought fresh delicious vegetables and fruits for our evening meals (we travelled with two babies of age 7 months and 16 months so had to stay in at night)
We're still not sure if the oven works though...
The lasagna had to be improvised on top of the gas stove...!
And the electric kettle was replaced by traditional means on the gas stove - but this just made the apt even more charming ;)
As Pantheon is only within 10 min stroll we got to see it everyday as it was on our path to other places. The Vatican is also close, 15-20 min walking. We got to see Pope Francesco sunday at noon :)
We grabbed a comfy shuttle bus both to and from fiumicino airport, dropped us off and picked us up by the front door of the apt - so easy when travelling with babies!
Oh and last but not least - there was plenty of hot water for daily showers, evening baths for the babies and for washing the dishes! :)
Grazie Manuela, è stato un grande piacere stare da te!
