If you’re looking for the perfect apartment away from the giant tourist traps but still want that Roman feel, stop looking and book this spot! From the moment we met, Federica and Franco made us feel at home with their large smiles and great personalities. Although the shower was a little small, everything else was absolutely perfect and every detail thought of. Franco even put together a map of artist Caravaggio’s work throughout the city for you art enthusiasts. There’s wonderful restaurants and gelato around the corner that they recommended, and you’re still within walking distance (although a little farther out) to the colosseum, Roman forums and the Vatican. At this time of year, the length of those walks didn’t bother us in the slightest as the weather was gorgeous. To top it off, Federica not only showed us how to make true Italian espresso, but she also helped coordinate a car service to and from the airport. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will be staying there again when we make our way back to Rome!
