This was our first trip to Rome but could only stay two days. Theo’s place is super convenient for sightseeing! Very close to the Vatican. All of the (very touristy) hop on-off busses stop just down the street. Dozens of cafes and gelato stands are within a 2-minute walk (really!). Because of the great location we were able to see a lot of Rome’s sights in our two days there.
Theo set up (private car) transportation to/from the airport and met us at the apartment. It is a nice sized, newly remodeled, two-bedroom apartment just down a few stairs from the entrance floor. It was very clean and there were cookies and wine to greet us. While the temperature was cool in early May, I know that summertime in Rome can be very warm. The new air conditioning system worked great and would be very much appreciated in the summer. The clothes iron was also very handy.
I will certainly check the availability of Theo’s apartment for our next (and longer) trip to Rome and will plan to stay at his apartment again. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a great location to see the Vatican and other sights in Rome.
