We had a great time staying at Bruno's apartment.
Firstly, Bruno is so nice and fatherly! He greeted us with the most friendly smile and is very approachable. Upon carrying our luggages up to the apartment, he changed the light bulb in the kitchen. He was very humorous and was joking about the size of the kitchen being the size of the elevator. He then brought us around the vicinity, showed us the cafe that serve delicious breakfast, the restaurant that serve great fish and seafood. He even warned us to be careful around Rome and that we can purchase metro tickets at nearby cigarette store which I highly recommend it to the tourists. It is much safer!
Secondly, on the house, it is pretty huge. It is clean and even though the kitchen is small but it is not an issue for us since we are on holiday and eating out most of the time. There was a small problem with the toilet bowl. Due to chokage, it didn't flush well. But we were glad that Bruno came to our rescue within an hour or so. He even called the plumber when it failed to flush after a few attempts. while waiting for the plumber, Bruno shared about his passion in golf and being a surgeon. We are glad to have befriend him. The lift might be small but one can get by with it easily. It can fit a luggage and one person at one time. Oh and we have no issues with hot shower!
Thirdly, the location is great. We walked to Colosseum based on the given directions by Bruno on day 1. From Colosseum, you can walk to Palentine, Roman forum, the Pantheon then the Trevis fountain and back at the apartment. Also, the Spanish steps is within walking distance.
We will recommend this place to others.
Thank you Bruno for the fabulous hospitality! We enjoyed our stay and trip in Rome.
