This apartment was beautiful and a great place to base ourselves for our three days in Rome. The location was fantastic, as it was located a short walk from the Colosseum and the Vatican and was easy to get around to all major attractions. We walked everywhere- no need for buses or trains if you're up for really seeing this amazing city. The area had a great feel to it, with plenty of restaurants and bars to spend your time. Laura was so hopeful leading up to our stay, and accommodated some changes to our arrival (as our bus broke down, which meant we missed our train). Unfortunately, we got the taxi's that rip you off (out the front of the station- even though Laura gave us great instructions for getting a bus- we were so tired after our crazy journey to Rome) and we were charged 40 euros to go from the train station to the apartment. FYI- don't pay over 20 euros, it only cost 10 euros for our return journey (make sure they use the meter). Laura was so lovely when I told her about this via email, she insisted on meeting up for a drink the next night. It was lovely to meet her and her husband, and spend some time with some locals. They are both such warm and friendly people and it was so lovely for them to spend the evening with us.

The apartment has many great features. The bed is extremely comfortable and it was fantastic having more space than just a hotel room. The kitchen was very handy during our stay and we loved recovering on the couch of a night after our big days of exploring the city. We loved entering the apartment, it just felt really old school and Italian opening the big door, venturing up the old stairs- we loved it. The apartment is beautifully decorated and this place is definitely a great place to stay if you're visiting Rome. It did get a little bit loud downstairs some nights, but the noise didn't go too late and with such a comfortable bed (and exhausted bodies from long days exploring), it really didn't matter. Highly recommended.
