The apartment had everything we were looking for. It's very spacious, in a historic building in a great location (close to Termini), with a beautiful view of the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica from the small but charming little balcony from where we sat and watched the exciting hustle and bustle of Roma. The kitchen area is very small, but perfectly adequate. We were late meeting Lavinia as our train from the airport was held up, but she waited for us and accommodated our delay. Top tips: have dinner at the trattoria you can see from the bedroom window directly across the street; buy your groceries at a Co-op supermarket rather than one of the many WAY more expensive corner stores close by; if you can, take the time to walk to/from the apartment instead of using the subway to really get the feel for the neighbourhood. A great place, we would definitely stay here again.
