This was my first time in Rome, and as a female travelling alone the general feel of the neighbourhood was very important to me. Fabio and Francesca’s lovely apartment was perfect! The location is ideal, with easy walking distance to all the major sights such as the Vatican and Colosseum, as well as the main shopping streets. The street was quiet, situated just the right distance away from the major party spots to ensure no noise at night. The apartment faces a small courtyard, so there was no street noise at all. There are many fabulous restaurants nearby.
The apartment was in good condition, just as described on the website. It is small, but would be perfect for a couple. It was clean, and had a good size bathroom. The air conditioning worked well during the June heatwave. Wifi was fast and reliable. Basic breakfast supplies were provided. There is also a stove and kitchen equipment if you wish to cook for yourself. The bed was large and very comfortable. Communication with Fabio and Francesca was easy, with fast response. They recommended the Sitbus shuttle from the airport to Piazza Cavour, and that worked well. From Piazza Cavour it is only a short distance to walk across the Ponte Umberto I. Fabio met me at the apartment for check-in. When leaving I took a taxi from the nearby taxi rank to Termini train station. Next time in Rome I look forward to staying at the Casina again. Thank you so much Fabio and Francesca!
