If you are coming to Rome, I highly recommend you book this apartment. Marcella was kind enough to let us drop our luggage off while the apartment was getting clean. When we arrived we found the apartment being cleaned by a professional cleaning service instead of just the host her self. To me, that makes me more than happy to pay any cleaning fee because I know the space is being thoroughly cleaned. The area of Rome the apartment is in is no more than a 20 minute walk to all of the big tourist attractions as well as the best kept secret’s. Marcella checked us in and provided us with a binder full of information about the apartment as well as the surrounding area. This information was extremely helpful and we appreciated it very much. She also provided us with our own key so we were able to come and go as we please. The apartment is stocked with special touches such as earplugs, plenty of towels, slippers for each guest, a fully stocked kitchen, and icy cold air conditioning. The weather was around 95°F when we were there, so I appreciated the well functioning air-conditioner. The area surrounding the apartment is full of delicious restaurants, bars, Gelateria’s, and shops. In the evening, walk across the Tiber river to find a bustling night life of restaurants, bars, street performers, and vendors all lining the Tiber river in little white tents. This is also only about a 25 minute walk from the apartment and it is a beautiful walk at that. Rome is such an incredible city, The architecture is a mixture of ruins and more recent structures. We enjoyed the food, the culture, and the historical context. The bed was comfy, the windows have black out curtains, and the shower has great water pressure. The apartment is fully stocked so all you need to do is go grocery shopping if you wish to cook. We appreciated the little touches like a small bottle of wine and a candy dish with snacks. Thank you again Marcella for sharing your home with us, We hope to be back next time we visit room.
