Nadia literally ran (in her running tights and sneakers) to meet at us at the apartment as our flight from NYC was an hour early. She arranged for us to be picked up by Top Drivers who took us directly to the apt in a newish Mercedes sedan through twisting and narrow streets. Nadia's apartment is extremely well-located, Roscioli pizza is a few steps down (as well as their restaurant/cafe) and Campo Fiori and the stellar restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto is also within a 5 minute walk. Foodie heaven. We had no problems walking to the Pantheon, Forum, Colosseum, Spanish Steps area, Trastevere, Testaccio and Vatican - bring a good pair of walking shoes. I wished we had stayed here 15 years ago - it is very central and the comfortable apartment is in a historic 8th century building. We had no problems sleeping (no noise really except for church bells in morning but by that time, we were awake). The bed was comfy and it was nice to have an outdoor patio. The apartment was in pristine shape with some unique features (beautiful stained glass covering radiators for example). It was definitely NOT shabby but well-maintained and very comfortable. Nespresso coffee machine with coffee pods was nice too. Nadia is a really nice and helpful person and made a great effort to check us in early (thank you) and check up on us. It was a welcome oasis and staying at her apartment made our vacation really excellent.
