For my very first experience in Italy, I must say a 10 over 10 experience! The apartment is exactly as advertised, and it has been fully refurbished, we were the second guests!! It is very clean and spacious, with a full equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom and bathroom. It looks into a patio and the isolation is very good so there was no noise coming from the street.

But the best of it all is the location. I really cannot think of a best place from which to visit the whole city. Every interesting spot is within walking distance, the further we went was Eataly and it's perfectly doable. If you're not up for walking, you have a tram to the center right in front your door. Being in the Trastevere you will find thousands of trattorias and bars, it was very lively, but again the apartment is just 2 minutes away of the vibrant streets and nightlife - perfect distance not to be disturbed, close enough not to have to take any transport on the way back. Literally 2 minutes to one of the most crowded streets!

Maria was really the perfect host, she has a booklet with great tips on what to do and how to move around in the city. She provided us with tips on where to eat (we liked one of the trattorias so much that we went 3 times in 4 days!!) and she provided us with a map with walking distance / timing to main sigthseeing points. She was particularly nice since we arrived a bit late in the evening and she waited for us to give us the keys and explain us the house rules and so.

Internet worked like a charm.

And then it's the city, of course... what can I say about Rome that hasn't been said before? Tons of history, great ambiance, great food!

Overall a fantastic experience!

Thanks, Maria, we hope to see you soon!!!!
