This apartment is located in a non tourist area. You will experience true authentic Roman neighborhood. It is close to shops, bank, supermarkets and restaurants and is a short taxi ride to St. Peter's . Mariestella was an incredible host. We were two families traveling together and the youngest child became ill. Mariestella was able to help get a doctor to prescribe some medication for ear infection. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us. It has a lovely outdoor terrace with sitting area, which is quite rare in Rome. If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and experience an authentic Roman neighborhood, this is the apartment for you.
