Federico's apartment is the perfect size for a party of 6 or 7 to have a sanctuary away from the craziness of Rome.
This was the first time that we had a 'virtual' check-in, with Federico letting us into the apartment by remote, but it happened very smoothly. The space was super clean and well equipped, with a large fridge and small freezer. Two balconies were great for sitting in the late evening to unwind after a long day of touring around the area.
It is only about a 7 minute walk from Marconi metro stop, or about a 9 minute walk from Basilica San Petro. There is a Todis supermarket only about two blocks away.
Clean sheets, great air conditioning (required in early August 2018!!) and a large dining room table were all a big plus in this apartment.
There is a great gelato shop right downstairs, and we would like to recommend a couple of other spots. We ate twice at Burro & Sugo (David, waiter and Cristian, owner) took great care of us. Reasonably priced for excellent food; only a 10 minute walk! Also, L'Angelo Del Caffe is a great coffee shop about a 5 minute walk away.
Bus 23 takes you right into Trastavere for plenty of amazing restaurants and sights to see, and bus 170 takes you directly to Mercato Testaccio for food and other market booths. The bus stops are just steps from the front door. Just a couple of awesome things you can visit from this great space.
Finally, there is a binder full of information for guests including restaurant recommendations, tips for travel in the area, and where to shop, etc. Federico even helped us by arranging transport to the airport for our large party, so we wouldn't have to worry about buses/subway or ordering a taxi that was too small.
Thanks Federico...we had a great stay!
Cheers,
Greg
