Raffaella is an absolute rock star! I have never had a host go so far above and beyond to help a guest out.
I came down with a bad stomach bug right before arrival and my doctor in the US strongly suggested I see a physician immediately. After being told I was not covered by my insurance company, I began calling urgent cares in Rome. No one could get me in until the following evening. I mentioned this in passing to Raffaella and within an hour she had a doctor lined up to see me. Not only that, but his services were free! She helped with the translation of my ailments and even assisted me in getting my prescriptions filled. She was an absolute godsend!!
Not only that, but she walked us around the city at night when public transport and finding your way can be challenging. It was as though we had our own person guide. She really went well beyond what I expected and we thank her for that.
The Apartment is sensational as well. Very modern, sleek, clean and comfortable. It’s within a few minutes walk of the Vatican City, and only seconds away from the Metro station. Plenty of places to eat and shop right outside the door. You cannot go wrong with the location or the place itself.
Raffaella is wonderfully organized and thorough. She has every available pamphlet, book, website, phone number or map you could need. She makes herself available to you for any questions you have throughout your stay.
I not only recommend this place, but I strongly suggest it over any other option! You will not be disappointed and you may even find yourself making a new friend along the way. I know we did!!
