We’d rather not tell you how wonderful this apartment is because it means we’ll have a harder time rebooking it next time! Your hosts, Victor and Emma, are amazing, super responsive and helpful, and on top of everything, and their apartment manager is the best … met us late when our flight was delayed, showed us around and was the perfect host.
But the real story here is the location. Under the shadow of the Palatine Hill, steps from the Capitoline Hill, and a short walk to the Forum and Colosseum,, the Circo Massimo Metro line, bus lines, restaurants (gotta go - Restaurante Alvaro - try the tartuffo risotto), the local (weekend farmer’s) market and daily market at Campo de’ Fiori, plus the most amazing local grocery (with a terrific selection of Italian cheeses, meats, and wines curated by the son, who is also a certified sommelier). Sorry, but you can’t do better when choosing a neighborhood than this. People were lovely to us. And it’s QUIET at night. The A/C is strong. There’s a washing machine and a comfy big bed. The bathroom is spacious and well appointed. It’s heaven.
And did we mention the rooftop patio for your evening cocktail? Everything you need for a true Roman Holiday. Told you it was fabulous. But remember: don’t tell anyone else.
