We were welcomed directly upon our arrival and conducted to the apartment where they gave us many local suggestions for eating, shopping and entertainment.

The apartment was lovely, just as pictured and described. The location is superb - just around the corner from the Pantheon in the heart of old Rome. Many tourist sites are within easy walking distance and there is supermarket shopping and banking facilities just around the corner.

The main bedroom and ensuite bathroom were lovely. The second pull out bed was adequate for two and the smaller, second bathroom was functional. There is not really adequate room for cooking, though there are facilities.

Our hosts thoughtfully supplied us with a free bottle of wine, coffee pods and continental breakfast pastries on our arrival.

Be aware that the apartment is on what we call the 4th floor and there is no lift. It was no problem at all for us but might be for folks with mobility problems (though it wasn't for me and I have 2 artificial knees!)

In sum, we had a marvellous two weeks in Rome and the apartment was a major contributing factor to our enjoyment.
