We are a family of 4 (kids 8 and 6) and we really enjoyed our stay in Edoardo’s apartment. Edoardo himself was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He even arranged an airport transfer for us (which I would thoroughly recommend - the driver, Massimo, was so welcoming and friendly, it was a great, relaxed arrival in Rome). Even though our flight out was cancelled twice and he had to rearrange it twice for us (and the check in), he was nothing but professional and polite about it. He welcomed us personally into the apartment, sent me a load of tips for places to eat / good ice cream etc, and even sent me a message a couple of days in to check we were ok. The apartment itself is light and airy and perfect for a family with kids. The location was absolutely fine - 8mins or so walk to the Baldo degli Ubadi metro stop (up a slight hill). Once on the metro, you are at Termini in 15mins or so (allow more time for the Colosseum as you have to change and if you have to queue for tickets as well, I would allow an hour to be really safe). The Vatican is about 25mins walk away - I would recommend walking round via St Peter’s Square as google maps suggestion of cutting the corner along the back edge of the Vatican is not so pretty and a little hairy with kids and narrow pavements in places! Near the apartment is a big Agora supermarket - it is hidden underground so walk over to Via Gregorio VII and turn left to find the entrance. We would also recommend Rimpizzamose for an excellent pizza restaurant! We thought the value for money for the location was excellent.
