After arriving 2 hours later than expected our taxi dropped us off at Piazza Campo de’Fiori instead of near the flat. Dino, Federico’s friend, met us and helped us with our suitcases. He was so welcoming! He showed us places to visit and different supermarkets that we could get food.
The flat had EVERYTHING that we needed to cook with, coffee, towels, small travel bottles of shampoo (just in case you forget yours) and what we enjoyed the most was that when we arrived the heat worked perfect. After being out and about in the cold rain coming home to a warm place was welcoming.
Now to get to this flat you do have to climb some stairs which we did with a stroller and 9 month old (it is doable) And at night it sounds like the people at the bar downstairs are in the next room (if that bothers you, then Rome is not for you because it is a lively city and most flats are above restaurants) but I promise you that it is WORTH staying here. It is the perfect location!!!
We averaged about 8-9 miles a day and walked all of Rome. Do not waste your money on Uber or Taxi’s, you will miss the beauty of this city.
We saved the bottle of wine that Federico left for us for our last night. Our son was sick so we stayed in, got some food and enjoyed the wine.
Federico arranged transportation to the airport which I wish we would have done when we arrived.
We will definitely come back to Rome and stay here.
