I stayed here for a month and really enjoyed my time.
Firstly, Livia is a truly wonderful host (she’s what I would think a superhost should be like) who was always quickly available for any questions and she went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable. For example, when I mentioned I drink tea (not coffee like any self respecting Roman) she had a kettle sent to the apartment that I could use! She cares a lot about her guests and shows it with care.
The apartment is a nice size where you feel like you have good space (my fiancé was working remotely and it was nice for him to have the kitchen space which has an additional table to the one in the living room if I would be in there watching tv). The balcony is a nice addition also.
Location: very close to St. Peter’s Basilica (less than 10 minutes), and a row of restaurants, plus a supermarket near by.
My favorite was the fact that the train station is right outside (1 minute walk and it’s not noisy having it close by) which came in very handy for all trips outside of Rome as well to other metros within the city, or to get to Termini central station. Plus, I started using Lime/bikes which you can conveniently find outside the train situation to get around to other areas that by foot might have taken me longer if I was feeling lazy, or you can hop on the bus which is also right there. So I found it doable to get around to all the other areas of interest.
The apartment was clean, quiet, and in a more residential feeling neighborhood so you don’t feel overwhelmed in the middle of chaotic tourists.
It was nice at the end of the night coming back to a place I felt like I could relax. Even my fiancé told me it was great find — we both enjoyed having this as our home during our stay.
Thank you Livia for the wonderful hospitality and apartment!
