We could not have been in a better spot for a very quick two days in Rome, particularly as it was our first visit. So many delicious restaurants and great activities/sights were within easy walking distance, but the apt itself is very quiet (except for the seagulls :)). Although the building is old and feels super authentic, for lack of a better word, Maria Cristina has done a beautiful renovation inside while still retaining the charms of the older architecture. We were traveling with our teenage son, and having two bathrooms was *amazing*. Really appreciated the variety of restaurant tips!
