Carla and Mossimo were gracious hosts. Before our departure from the US, they set up a car service with a professional tourism colleague, who was kind enough to wait patiently after my husband had left his cell phone on the plane, causing a 90 minute delay in our departure from the Rome airport. Carla's daughter (20 years old I think) was there to greet us with a cheery disposition even though it was midnight and we were supposed to arrive at 10:30. She explained to us (in perfect English) how to use all of the appliances, how to hook up to the wifi, and where to eat. A day later, they checked in on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Our three children, all 7 and under, were treated like family. Check out was flexible and Mossimo was genuinely concerned with our experience. The apartment was pefect: good size; comfortable beds; clean bathroom, kitchen, floors, counters and linens; and a nice view down the street of our Trastevere neighborhood. The windows opened in every room to bring in fresh air and natural light. We were able to use the house phone for local calls, and we made good use of the kitchen without any issues. A major plus to this apartment was the lift; it's a very useful amenity when you have three kids or have anything heavy to bring upstairs (luggage, groceries, kids in strollers or baby carrier). The apartment was close to an outdoor market that offered fresh fruit, vegetables, beef and fish. Next to the market was a kids playground area that was this neighborhood's nightly meeting spot for dinner and people watching. A supermarket and bank were nearby, as were several coffee bars and neighborhood restaurants. EVERYTHING we needed was within a 2 block radius. The apartment was a three minute walk from the lively and picturesque piazza that is home to Santa Maria Church, the oldest church in Rome. The restaurants and gelato selection in this area were plentiful and satisfying.
