The apartment was very nice and as pleasant as the photos. It is a subway apartment so it was cool in the torrid Roman summer. It has a closet kitchen but very workable for our needs. The washer and drying area were a life saver.
The neighborhood is nice and feels quite safe. Supermarket, tobac, and truly the best gelato in Rome. Thanks for that tip Roberto!
Roberto was the best of hosts. He lives close by and his english is excellent. His response to emails was nearly instant. He had helpful suggestions with sites and a camera shop when my camera disappeared on the subway. He had even provided a few things for our first breakfast after arrival.
We feel like we have an Italian friend in Rome.
