We had a very comfortable stay at Anastasia’s “Il Cedro” second floor apartment at the end of our three week visit to Italy. We travelled as two couples and enjoyed the spaciousness and privacy of the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment and it’s two large private terraces. One terrace is off the main bedroom and the other one, equipped for outdoor eating, is in front of the entrance door to the flat. There are several small fruit trees, plants and herbs growing on the terrace including a “Cedro” which we learned is a type of large citron or lemon common in the south of Italy.
We enjoyed a home cooked (by Anastasia), three course, reasonably priced meal, with wine delivered to us on the terrace.
The kitchen is well equipped and has a full size refrigerator which was stocked with some drinks on our arrival.
The owner lives with family in another apartment just above. She was easily reached and responded quickly to our inquiries before and after check-in.
This was our third trip to Rome and we enjoyed exploring a less touristy part of the city. If you are reasonably fit it is possible to walk to the Coliseum and to continue to explore from there. Public transportation is also within walking distance. There is an excellent Osteria right beside the apartment. There IS a lot of graffiti and the surrounding area feels like a student ghetto but we would return. Great value. Recommend.
