Our family of 4 had a terrific time at Barbara's apartment in Rome! Barbara was wonderful with communication before our arrival, then throughout our stay she checked on us to see if we had any needs. The apartment matches the pictures exactly - was a great size for us, and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days. The location cannot be topped - you can walk almost everywhere to the sights (I was surprised how walkable Rome is!), and if you choose to take a cab for a longer destination (we chose to go by cab to the Vatican, though we could have walked), it is easy to catch a cab within a 3 min walk from the apartment. The windows open to the famous square Campo De Fiori (and if you get lost, everyone knows where this square is, lol). We enjoyed opening the windows in early mornings to catch the sounds of the market being set up (every day they have the marker), and then at night we would open the windows to listed to the street performers. Our last night, there was an amazing 3-person band playing right below our window. And if you close the window - voila, barely a sound can be heard from outside, so you get to choose if you want to hear the sounds of the area or not! There are little grocery stores tucked in amongst the stores, but Barbara gives you names so you can find them easier...it's tricky because the stores are very deep, but appear very tiny from the storefront. Really enjoyed our time, thanks Barbara for the time in your apartment!
