Pina was very friendly and welcoming and even left us a bottle of wine, fruit juice and pastries.
Our satnav brought us to the back of the apartment so Pina came with us in our car and navigated us around to the front, where there was parking behind a locked gate. We could see the car from the apartment which was good for peace of mind.
The apartment was bigger than I'd expected. The sitting room has been made up as a bedroom (there were four of us) but there was a dining room too, so we had somewhere to sit without having to fold up the sofa bed. The apartment is well equipped with comfortable beds and lovely soft sheets.
It is around 10 minutes walk from the colosseum and forum - and close enough to walk to everything in the city really - and also 10 mins from the metro. St Clements church is very close and worth exploring. We enjoyed the neighbourhood with some good restaurants and it wasn't too touristy.
The only negative was that it was very noisy (no double glazing) so take ear plugs!
Thank you Pina, we will return!
