We stayed at Sebastian’s place for five days for the Christmas holiday, including December 24-26. Having previously been in a European city on Christmas Day that was mostly shut down, I was concerned about access to restaurants, shops, etc. From the moment I booked Sebastian’s place, he helped arrange Christmas ideas and regularly communicated with me. All that said, functioning on the days before, on, and after Christmas was not a problem. I have never seen a city so busy on a holiday! 🙂
Sebastian’s place is well equipped for a family of four with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We were initially concerned about the lack of a sitting area — the kitchen is the only other room in the apartment — but we were gone so much that it was not an issue. The kitchen is equipped with the basics and has more to offer than most. The best part after a week of travel is a good washing machine that was much better than we had in Venice or Naples!
VERY close to the Colosseum.
